At SUSE, we have /usr/bin/sqlite in default install, which happens to be
sqlite 2-8.17./usr/bin/sqlite3 only comes from an optional add on package
sqlite3.
Upgrading /usr/bin/sqlite is not possible as we might break old applications
expecting sqlite2 there.
This fools users into creating oldstyle sqlite2 databases unintentionally,
or into believing we haven't updated our packages in years.
The appended patch fixes the situation.
It allows installing /usr/bin/sqlite3 with a symlink to sqlite,
and also having /usr/bin/sqlite2 around for compatibility.
cheers,
