Nope...
poldek --conf=/tmp/poldekrc --install-dist=... --pset=installer.pkgs
failed with "broken dependencies"
poldek --conf=/tmp/poldekrc --root=... -Uv something
seemed to not (well, failed later on missing /bin/rpm)

poldek --conf=/tmp/poldekrc -V
complained about missing dependencies for outdated dev-udev package
causing unsatisfied dependencies for many packages (dev-udev has been
recently removed from ftp, but it was still in yesterday's indexes).
Maybe it was the reason?
dev-udev is not present in new indexes, we could try to install Ac again
today.
