You are using fpc 3.1.1. The repository for fpc 3.1.1 only contains the 
'extra' packages, like embweb, gecko etc. This is because all the other 
packages can constantly change...

But it should list all the installed packages, although they are not 
available for download.

Because it can not find the installed packages. (In this case fcl-web)

Normal for fpc 3.1.1

This setting should point to the location where the packages are 
installed. And it looks right. Do you have a directory called 'fpmkinst' 
here:
/home/gigauser/Development/Base/fpc/bin/lib/fpc/3.1.1/fpmkinst/x86_64

And does this directory contain a lot of .fpm files?

It should...
