Well, it's the same thing really. If the platform does have a database, the fallback will not be used.
Of course, there is the case of the database existing on the platform normally, but somebody for some reason deleting the files, but I don't think that case deserves an error message.

I also expect that most platform distributions, such as for Ubuntu, will not include the fallback database, as it will never be used. I'll add something about that and that we need to raise an error of some sort (any opinions on what?) if no database is found at all.
