When an older version of sqlite is installed, the final line of the
traceback is unrelated.
raise LookupError(message)
LookupError: No installed app with label 'admin'.
If you look further up the traceback, you can see what the problem is, but
this can be tricky for newer users.
raise ImproperlyConfigured('SQLite 3.8.3 or later is required (found
%s).' % Database.sqlite_version)
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: SQLite 3.8.3 or later is
required (found 3.7.17).
I think that if we made the error message clearer it would be helpful for
new users. Perhaps we could do this by checking the sqlite version in a
system check, or maybe there's a better approach.
