I agree that applications shouldn't be running untrusted SQL/PHP. We can
enable the flag in our sqlite3 package for now but, as Łukasz mentioned,
I think it would be best if James could work with upstream to get a
proper tokenizer in place in the future.

Title:
  Please recompile sqlite 3.11 with -DSQLITE_ENABLE_FTS3_TOKENIZER

Status in mediascanner2 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in sqlite3 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The recent upload of sqlite 3.11 to xenial-proposed has rendered
  mediascanner2 non-functional.  From the release notes, it seems the
  ability to register new full text search tokenizers has been disabled
  by default:

  http://sqlite.org/releaselog/3_11_0.html

  This means that mediascanner2 fails to open the index.  We can't
  switch to any of the built-in tokenizers because they don't handle CJK
  text, so the only option seems to be to re-enable this functionality
  despite it being a potential security vulnerability for apps that let
  untrusted code run arbitrary SQL.
