Yeah, I figured. Note that your website suggests 'package uninstall' but the help message from running 'package' shows a 'remove' command but not 'uninstall'. Maybe add 'uninstall' to the help message?
Fixed.

It looks like my 'user db' is borked up? Is there a way to rebuild it, or to blow it away entirely and start over?
Rebuild it, no. Blow it away: rm -rf ~/.packages
Firstly though, what does "cd ~/.packages; find" produce? The databases are just directories with text files and symlinks in them.
The confusing thing of course is that you ran it as root, so I'm not sure why it is looking in the user db. Your root user IS uid 0 right?
