Wouldn't call that a quirk - you tell rpm to use a directory that does
not exist - it is only natural to complain in that case..

If you use nodeps, then you don't need the userland package ...

The fakedb/userland is to be able to install the packages into a
non-system rpm database. (That would not provide things like a shell
and similar, the userland is a dummy rpm that provides those packages
so that --nodeps can be avoided.

Use is not restricted to the java installer, but the java installer
basically does the above when run as a user without system privileges.

The userland rpm will be moved to a different folder, so that *rpm
will work again.
