Answer 1

Why use a different rpm database? There should be a really good reason to go this route...

If you must have a private rpm db, you can copy the system db into your private one cp /var/lib/rpm/* ~/myrpmdb/.

installing with --nodeps may be the easiest way... copying the rpm db is really sub-optimal, it will soon be out of date and not reflect the state of the system.
