We’ve finally solved the last problem connected to Fedora Core upgrade from version 3 to version 4. After the upgrade our Trac stopped working completely with the following error message:
Oops...
Trac detected an internal error:
file is encrypted or is not a database
Traceback (most recent call last):

DatabaseError: file is encrypted or is not a database
We’ve finally tracked the problem to SQLite version 2.x vs 3.x
On Fedora Core 4, Trac uses SQLite 3.x although the trac.db database in conf directory is in version 2.x format. The solution is to manually upgrade all the Trac environment databases to version 3.x:
mv trac.db trac2.db sqlite trac2.db .dump | sqlite3 trac.db
