I don't think that rpm should be doing anything using chroot() for simple query.
To make query all what needs to be done is just add base root path (for
/var/lib/rpm, /etc/rpm and /var/lib/rpm as well).
On install/upgrade/remove the same if will be done from non-root current checks
is uid=0 is IMO enough to exit with non-zero code.
chroot() will be only necessary for install/upgrade/remove/verify operations
(for (%verifyscript) from root or when rpm process will have necessary
capabilities to call chroot().
Nevertheless currently -r/--root does not work even for queries.
