Hi Peter, Just to clarify a few things before I suggest anything else. On your wife’s MBP - In her Pictures Folder there is NOT a “iPhoto Library.photolibrary” Or "iPhoto Library”?
There are only these two files: “iPhoto Library.migratedphotolibrary” and “Photos Library.photoslibrary” mentioned previously? What size is indicated on both the above libraries? Hold Down the Option key & keep it down as you click Photos to open and see the ‘Choose Library' dialog window. What shows there? Also what shows there if you click “Other Library”? It seems as thought the transition/import of iPhoto Library has not fully completed. If it had, the next time you opened the Photos.app everything would look similar/ but a bit different to iPhoto.app. Also if it had, you would have been able to double-click on iPhoto Library.migratedphotolibrary and you would see this message “Your photo library has been migrated to Photos. You can open it in iPhoto, but any changes such as editing or adding new photos will not appear in the Photos app” and the 'Open Photos’ button would be BLUE for you to click. Was the only iPhoto Library backup on the Time Machine sparsebundle that you deleted? I would much prefer to know there is a backup.... Let me know the answers to above queries before I perhaps suggest you try to Repair the Photos Library.
