It links against libsqlite3 only. If it supports sqlite2, that's a side-effect of libsqlite3 supporting the sqlite2 data format. As soon as the inadvertent linking with libsqlite3 was corrected, the PDO driver would immediately *drop* support for sqlite3 and *only* support sqlite2; or if libsqlite3 does in fact support both formats, the php5 package could be migrated entirely to libsqlite3, but then we would have to sort out what's to be done with the out-of-tree php5-sqlite3 package. > Perhaps it could be moved elsewhere, but in any case there needs to be > an obvious way to find what package I need to install to get the > "sqlite" PDO driver from php5-sqlite3 That's the problem of the php5-sqlite3 maintainer. The php5-sqlite package was never intended to have any support for sqlite3 at this point. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
