modified prior to this code > being run. Not sure where, perhaps there is another use of AptPkg in cme? The first is correct, the later indicates that $_config->init was never called as Dir couldn't be empty in that case (and that Dir::State gets its default value here is actually an unattended but harmless side effect of the dpkg/status finding code in its current form). Given that the error message has a '/' in front I lean towards assuming that the configuration is eventually initialized, just too late.
