Hi

*error: unable to read database header*

Sorry for spamming this list but as it is an email list I cannot add to my
original issue as for instance in github.

As mentioned in my previous email I have donwloaded binaries for windows
10, run `.open test` followed by `.dbinfo` and got this error: `unable to
read database header`. There is an old issue from v3.20.1 that reported the
same error which seemed to be a build issue which later was corrected if I
understand correctly:
https://www.mail-archive.com/sqlite-users@mailinglists.sqlite.org/msg106549.html

I have tried:

   - installing sqlite3 in ubuntu on windows by copying the binaries and
   running `sqlite3` as per your documentation. Result: sqlite3 not installed
   - installing sqlite3 in ubuntu on windows by copying the binaries and
   running `./sqlite3`. Result: `bash: ./sqlite3: cannot execute binary file:
   Exec format error`
   - installing sqlite3 in ubuntu on windows by using `sudo apt-get update`
   then `sudo apt-get install sqlite3`. Result: v2.8.17 installed. I do not
   want to use such an old version
   - installing sqlite3 on macOS  by copying the binaries and running
   `sqlite3` as per your documentation. Result: sqlite3 not installed
   - installing sqlite3 on macOS  by copying the binaries and running
   `./sqlite3`. Works. But same error as in Windows 10 when running `.open
   test` followed by `.dbinfo`: `unable to read database header`

I have also tried to access binaries for older versions like 3.28.0. Maybe
this error does not occur there? After all it did not occur last year when
I worked with v3.27.2. But it seems binaries for older versions do not
exist.

I have also tried a few more things like searching google. Unfortunately it
seems that it is MUCH harder to find help for issues concerning sqlite3
than for any other library I have used so far.

So after a few hours I am left with a db file created that cannot show
.dbinfo and makes me feel real bad. Can I trust it and use it?

I posted the following email to sqlite-us...@sqlite.org (this email was
explicitly shown somewhere on the sqlite.org site):

But every time I try to log in I get this error:

 but got this answer:

It seems that the fact that signing up to the list seems not to work (in my
case?) also may prevent me from mailing to the list :-(

I feel sqlite3 is making it REALLY hard to get a working version of sqlite3
if a published version happens to be faulty.
I realize this is open source and I have no right to complain. But maybe it
could be made easier to report issues in a timely fashion?
