The repositories file exists and it's been my experience that you
don't even need any entries in it for apk to function for and return
information for commands like "apk info" as long as you pass it a name
of a package that's already installed, I believe it returns
information found in /lib/apk/db/installed.  For example in a working
chroot with only alpine-base in /etc/apk/world I get:

sodpro:~# apk add
OK: 8 MiB in 20 packages
sodpro:~# apk info musl
musl-1.1.24-r0 description:

musl-1.1.24-r0 webpage:
http://www.musl-libc.org/

musl-1.1.24-r0 installed size:
643072

Note that "apk add" with no arguments returns the number of installed
packages and "apk info musl" returns information about musl, on of the
installed packages.  The repositories file has only one local
filesystem entry (there are no official armel repos) and that entry is
commented out and the repo is not even mounted.  On the system that's
not working, which is actually booting from a tar'd image of the
chroot above, this is what I get with the same commands.  Note that I
have to add a wildcard to "apk info musl*" to get output from the
command:

localhost:/# apk add
ERROR: unsatisfiable constraints:
  alpine-base (missing):
    required by: world[alpine-base]
localhost:/# apk info musl
localhost:/# apk info musl*
