sqlite install failure on Ubuntu 7.10
Reported by Chad Woolley | October 19th, 2008 @ 04:16 PM
Got this error. Can sqlite be made optional?

Fix for this was to uncomment the "universe" sources in /etc/apt/sources.list.
Deprec should probably verify and uncomment this if necessary, or at least throw a meaningful proactive exception

Then don't get your hopes up. Unless you have a "Code Red, Mission Critical, The World is Coming to an End" kinda bug, you're creating this ticket in the hope that others with the same problem will be able to collaborate with you on solving it. Do not expect that the ticket automatically will see any activity or that others will jump to fix it. Creating a ticket like this is mostly to help yourself start on the path of fixing the problem and for others to sign on to with a "I'm having this problem too".<br/><br/>
