It is very hard to correctly return up the stack from this deep in the code, so the assertion is correct. If you can't read the secrets.tdb, there isn't much else we can do when we need that value. For the record, the -L option was added for a *testing* case (build farm) where we don't actually install as root, but instead use a normal user account.
