Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I just experienced a crash on Ubuntu 16.10. Apport pointed me to this bug report.

I don't think this is directly related to Ubuntu 16.10 because Liferea worked fine until a few days ago. The strange thing is that I get this crash every time I start Liferea. The package version is 1.10.19-2ubuntu1.

----

Hmm, starting liferea from the command line gives me the following error message five times:

** (liferea:6693): WARNING **: Unexpected status on SQL execution: 11 (database disk image is malformed)

followed by:

ERROR:db.c:729:db_init: assertion failed: (sqlite3_get_autocommit (db))

I guess I'll need to restore the database from a backup.

I *guess* as well.
