  • Bug#1107146: sqlite3 does not look in XDG_CONFIG_HOME for config file a

    From Bastian Venthur@21:1/5 to All on Mon Jun 2 10:40:01 2025
    Package: sqlite3
    Version: 3.46.1-6
    Severity: normal
    X-Debbugs-Cc: venthur@debian.org

    Dear Maintainer,

    the man page of sqlite3 says

    If the file ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/sqlite3/sqliterc or ~/.sqliterc exists, the first of those to be found is processed during startup.

    however, it does not look in XDG_CONFIG_HOME at all. You can verify with

    ```
    strace -f -t -e trace=file sqlite3
    ```

    Cheers,

    Bastian

    ```

    Sure enough.

    % echo | XDG_CONFIG_HOME=/tmp strace -f -t -e trace=file sqlite3 2>&1 |grep /tmp
    %

    FYI: Seems like upstream has a fix applied for this issue:

    https://www.sqlite.org/src/info/33841c9c3cb57bee

    which seems not available in Debian's sources.
