It can happen that we successfully query zero packages. For example,
when rpm-ostree on RHEL8 (assuming bdb database) is trying to parse an
ostree commit generated from fedora (sqlite rpmdb), librpm will just give us
nothing. Eventually perhaps we may need to fall back to actually running
the target commit as a container just to get this data for cases like that.
Specifically, I hit this doing
rpm-ostree rebase --experimental ostree-unverified-image:registry:quay.io/cgwalters/fcos-derivation-example
on RHCOS8.
