Changes (by dsd):

  * next_action:  diagnose => package


Comment:

 Python no longer likes being run with an empty environment and was
 producing this trace during boot:
 {{{

 }}}
 (the 2nd time this has bitten us)

 olpc-library-update was being run with an empty environment due to #6767 -
 "env -" clears the environment, but I don't think that part of the change
 was intentional.

 Fixed by not resetting the environment. olpc-utils
