That's odd. Do you have a full traceback and the verbose output of the tool?

Run as user root - not sure if that makes a difference?

Thanks, Dev

Very odd. My best guess is a very old version of SQLite that doesn't support the DEFAULT VALUES syntax. What does this command output?

$ python -c 'import sqlite3 ; print sqlite3.sqlite_version'

[infinitescale]

python -c 'import sqlite3 ; print sqlite3.sqlite_version' Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in ? ImportError: No module named sqlite3

[sampsyo]

Oh no. It looks like beets is running against some Python other than what's invoked by python on your machine. Do you know what that is? Perhaps python2.7?

[infinitescale]

Sorry python2.7 -c 'import sqlite3 ; print sqlite3.sqlite_version' 3.3.6

Setting up Install Process Package sqlite-devel-3.3.6-7.x86_64 already installed and latest version Package sqlite-devel-3.3.6-7.i386 already installed and latest version Nothing to do

[infinitescale]

Could there be issues importing LatAm Songs? They have accented characters...

[sampsyo]

Ah yes, it looks like CentOS is still using a version of SQLite from 2006: https://sqlite.org/changes.html

I can't find a changelog entry mentioning this syntax, but I'd be willing to bet this is a version issue. We can try to find a way to work around the old version. In the mean time, maybe there's a way to upgrade your SQLite?

And no, this does not have to do with accented characters. Those are fine.

how we can install two versions of sqlite3 at a time. it means i need to install sqlite3-version 2.0 and also sqlite3-version 3.0. it is possible to install two various version of sqlite3 by using only one command in npm
