Did you do a
# rpm --root=/home/kk --initdb
before all of this?
Sounds like you do have a Packages database (created since u installed
packages), but never did a --initdb (which creates the Packages db, plus all
those others)
!! Warning !! rpm --initdb totally nukes the existing db's in the specified
root, so use with caution
