f-spot don't start: mono-sqlite problem?

Hi all,
I'm a new entusiast archlinux user!

When I start f-spot, I get this exception:

[fabio@troy ~]$ f-spot
[Info  00:12:09.465] Initializing Mono.Addins
Could not load file or assembly 'Mono.Data.SqliteClient, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=0738eb9f132ed756' or one of its dependencies.

I think that there is no sqlite library for mono. Am I wrong?
I searched for it using pacman and aur, but i didn't find anything.

Any idea?

[fabio@troy ~]$ pacman -Q mono f-spot
mono 2.8-1
f-spot 0.6.2-1

Edit:

[fabio@troy ~]$ uname -a
Linux troy 2.6.35-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Sep 29 08:45:18 CEST 2010 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU M 450 @ 2.40GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

Thanks,
fabio

Same problem here

Edit: Works with f-spot-git from AUR

Linux is user-friendly- it's just picky who its friends are.

Had the same problem and since I couldn't resolve in an adequate time I installed shotwell and imported all fotos from f-spot into it.

Although I have just used it a couple of hours I already switched.
No problems importing images from my camera and the import from f-spot went well.
All tags and times are still there and it seems to be a lot faster.

Re: f-spot don't start: mono-sqlite problem?

As Sprocket said, the f-spot-git from AUR works. This has to do with the changes in Mono 2.8. The library Mono.Data.SqliteClient was removed, because it was deprecated. The latest stable release 0.8.0 (which is not in our repo) doesn't compile with mono 2.8 either because of a wrong taglibsharp library.
They have fixed the whole bunch in the git repository, so use the git version of f-spot until there is a new version in our repositories.

No need to change your photo management tool...
