So you have not installed it properly. Because you have some custom way
of adding the filesystem components. This does not justify the grave
severity.

So am I not sure what exactly you want to see fixed. Shall it start and
go to degraded mode in this situation, rejecting all operations? Shall
it start but run all downloads in pass-through mode (therefore hiding
the problem, actually).
