I have added some exception catching in this commit

[tim@hoth yum-utils]$ rm -rf /var/tmp/yum-tim-uQtoiY/
[tim@hoth yum-utils]$ ./package-cleanup.py -C --orphans
Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit, remove-with-leaves
Error: Cannot access repository dir /var/tmp/yum-tim-bPtiE_/i386/13/adobe-linux-i386

So now it dont blowup but give you and error

The error is ok, because you cant use the cache if there is no cache, but maybe it should be a little better message.

No, it should use the system-wide cache like "yum -C" does.
