I couldn't reproduce with the testcase in the above paste; with
oneiric's apt (0.8.14.1ubuntu5):
>>> import apt
>>> apt.Cache(rootdir='apt-test')
creating: apt-test/var/lib/dpkg
creating: apt-test/var/cache/apt/archives/partial
creating: apt-test/var/lib/apt/lists/partial
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

self.open(progress)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/apt/cache.py", line 136, in open
self._cache = apt_pkg.Cache(progress)
SystemError: E:Could not open file

directory), E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

>>> c.update()
True
I do have at least one PPA in my sources.list. I suppose APT is still
reading some data from / instead of rootdir (perhaps via apt-key).
I also couldn't reproduce with
"linaro-hwpack-create hwpacks/linaro-panda 12" as run from a checkout
of
lp:~linaro-maintainers/linaro-images/hwpack.natty.linaro-panda
Probably the same problem
