New description:
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.
