That should be /etc/ppr/ppr.conf and /etc/ppr/media.db.  Creating an 
empty media.db will do no harm, but creating an empty /etc/ppr/ppr.conf 
will since fixup won't overwrite an /etc/ppr/ppr.conf which you created.

The fixup script actually just runs a bunch of little scripts.  It might 
be easier to see the problem if you run the problem scripts 
individually.  The ones you want are:

/usr/lib/ppr/fixup/fixup_media
/usr/lib/ppr/fixup/fixup_conf

The second one creates /etc/ppr/ppr.conf.sample.  The script:

/usr/lib/ppr/fixup/fixup_samples

copies sample config files to the real ones if the real ones don't exist 
yet.
