This whole process helped me make some other library the system one, since Photos kept freezing when I tried to do that. I assume it froze because it wanted to find Photos Library.photoslibrary, remove its property as the system library, and assign that property to the new one, but since it couldn't even find Photos Library.photoslibrary it just got stuck. Hope this is helpful!

Frustratingly, I believe this is correct. My Photos Library.photoslibrary had almost nothing in it. When I right-clicked on it in Finder and saw the package contents, there was only one of the six folders it should have, and the one folder was completely empty. I then just copy-pasted content from another library (which was almost empty but had all the folders) and that allowed me to open it.
