Package: sqlite
Version: 2.8.17-2
Severity: normal

The problem observed with both 'sqlite' itself, and perl script
using DBD::SQLite.

When the /var partition is full, sqlite functions (I observed
it on CREATE TABLE) fail with errors like 

   database is full

(sqlite command line) or

   DBD::SQLite::db do failed: database or disk is full(1) at dbdimp.c line 402 

(DBD::SQLite). 

In both cases, the database in use resides on different filesystem
(which is by far not full), TEMP is set to /tmp (also different
partition with plenty of space).

There are in fact two problems here:

- the error message is completely confusing (I discovered what happened
  accidentally)

- I think sqlite should not be accessing /var - it is in no way asked
  to do it
