I *think* the problem is that packagedb::read is never called.  Since 
do_local_dir returns false, LocalDirPage::OnNext takes us directly to 
the chooser.  This means that do_ini_thread never gets to the line that 
calls db.read.

I could be completely wrong, but I'm throwing this out there because I 
don't have time to look at this any more right now.
