_sqlite.DatabaseError: unable to open database file

To fix this
You will have to erase the sqlite, sqlite-devel,python-sqlite rpm packages in your system

Matching packages have to be manually downloaded and installed 

You can use http://rpm.pbone.net/ to download the package for the particular release of your operating system

rpm -qa|grep -i sqlite
rpm -e sqlite python-sqlite sqlite-devel

Then install the packages downloaded from rpm.pbone.net
