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.
