All right, so that's one less reason to get the "No suitable backend" error. The sqlite backend shouldn't possibly be missing.
Then I just have no lead anymore as for why I could possibly get this problem. Unless you have any advice to debug this I guess I'll just recreate the file with the logs. It's very small but I have a company, a customer and an invoice recorded in it, which I wish I could keep. -nodje On 09/04/2018 16:33, John Ralls wrote: > The Mac bundle has its own copy of sqlite3 along with almost everything else > it needs.
