Upgrading sqlcipher to 4.0.0-1 breaks existing openMittsu databases

OpenMittsu (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/openmittsu-git/) is an unofficial desktop client for the Threema messaging protocol.

For encryption it is using libqsqlcipher (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libqsqlcipher/) which in turn uses sqlcipher (https://www.archlinux.org/packages/comm … sqlcipher/).

After upgrading sqlcipher from 3.4.2-1 to 4.0.0-1, OpenMittsu is unable to open exisisting databases and fails with "Invalid Password" even when the correct one is provided.

Rebuilding OpenMittsu and libqsqlcipher did not help, but downgrading sqlcipher to 3.4.2-1 works for the moment.

I'm unsure where to file a bug report or comment. Against sqlcipher at bugs.archlinux.org or upstream? Against libqsqlcipher? (I already reported at https://github.com/blizzard4591/openMittsu/issues before I saw the relation to sqlcipher.)

This is probably just a matter of libqsqlcipher needing to catch up with the changes in sqlcipher 4.0. Definitely nothing to report at bugs.archlinux.org, since the package in question is unsupported.
