Wow: You're a very special user.

Disabling the rpm database is not possible in the binary packages you
are using because there were numerous complaints from users who did
basically the following:

- Import copied crap channel lists with > 50 crap channels
- Break the system by installing hundreds of crap packages
- Wonder why the system is unstable
- Try to fix it by randomly disabling some channels
- Wonder what this strange [rpm-sys] channel is, disable it
- Wonder why smart suddenly doesn't recognize system channels any more
- Complain about the "bug"

It seems that your use case is different. Edit /usr/lib/smart/distro.py
and remove the code that adds the [rpm-sys] channel back.
