can't open zim

[Thomas Beaudry]

Hi, I am simply trying to open zim, and i get "looks like you've found a bug".

I have tried installing it two ways:

sudo apt-get install zim

which gives me this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/zim/index.py", line 542, in do_initialize_db

    cursor.execute('insert into pages(basename, sortkey, parent, hascontent, haschildren) values (?, ?, ?, ?, ?)', ('', '', 0, False, False))
OperationalError: no such table: pages

I also tried installing: zim_0.67_all.deb which gives me this error instead:

I was wondering if this could be linked to the fact that I have a shared NFS home folder, but i set the zim notebook to a local drive, and the error persists.

I am running ubuntu 16.04

Thanks,
Thomas
