No luck needed; with rpmdb-redhat package installed, point your
%_solve_pkgsdir (in /etc/rpm/macros.solve) to a mounted directory (local
or remote) containing the exploded set of RPMs from the distribution.
Also change the %_solve_name_fmt macro; see my previous post for a link
to details.

I'm not sure why Jeff Johnson doesn't put this change into his build for
rpmdb-redhat. It may have to do with not causing spurious errors for
people who have no install tree available.
