Mine didn't have the file, yet alone that field :)
I just posted the reason why in response to a message from Jan - 
essentially Apache hadn't been restarted fully and it had an old value for 
$BASE_CONFIG, so all bets were off.

But I still can't apply a package.  I deleted all of the web site 
directories and the dir where OI was installed, drop'ped the DB.  I went to 
the folder with the OI sources and reinstalled OI again.  Got it working 
fine with the base packages.  Went through the Developer's Guide, stuck 
again on apply_package:

[root@3evtowers oiOne]# oi_manage --website_dir /home/httpd/oi --package 
oiOne apply_package

Running apply_package...
=========================

Cannot save package repository: the OpenInteract base installation 
directory for package (-) is not specified or does not exist! at 
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/OpenInteract/PackageRepository.pm line 135.
Status of the packages you requested to be applied:
OK
FAILED!: Package could not be verified -- either it doesn't exist in
            base install or there's a problem with the base
            install package.{snip

That's essentially the problem, read on for more info}

Looks like earlier barf left package_repository.perl nicely backed-up 
before a premature exit, so now the httpd wont start.
