I recall going back someway we were sold this Geopackage idea being
implemented into Qgis because it was going to be so much better than
shape files that everyone has been using up to now. I bought into these
ideas by converting shape files in most of my Qgis projects into
Geopackage files.

Hello Patrick,
Yes, there are (were?) some glitches while working with geopackages. But a
lot of fixes and improvements have been made in recent releases.
I remember a thread in a mailing list about the fid annoyances, but I am
not sure what was the decision.
Regarding geopackage vs spatialite:
for 2. I found a "workaround":
As far as I remember, copy/paste works, but when trying to save, you get
this warning/error.
In the attribute table, I pick the "fid" column, enter "$id" and perform
"update all". After that the layer can be saved.
A novice user will never come to that solution by
I filed a bug report last week for the second problem, but it surely
must have been previously reported.

Hi Bernd
Thanks for your comments
As a previous commenter wrote, Spatialite also uses a similar format to
Geopackage being also based on SQLite.
So far in my testing of Spatialite I have found it to have neither
issue. Spatialite converted from Geopackage creates another field called
ogc_fi
Thanks for you comment, however I did not see a reference to the issue
of data loss when changing table structure (dropping columns etc).
