There was an update to sqlite that has disabled an unsafe optimization
in certain cases. Unfortunately, banshee runs into these cases
headlong. I run Fedora 20 and that bit me on an update.

There was a report about it (by me, among others) on this ML
back in October 2014. See the thread starting at

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.mono.banshee/14068

and particularly Bertrand Lorentz's reply

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.mono.banshee/14068/focus=14103

which contains a pointer to the sqlite bug report.

I was hoping that either sqlite would come out with an update that
speeded up these queries (there was a hope expressed, but not a promise, that
that would happen, in the above mentioned bug report); or alternatively,
that banshee would modify its queries along the lines suggested in the
bug report. Neither has happened yet AFAIK.

I wanted to build latest banshee just to keep track of this problem, but
I ran into dependency hell and then out of time.

If anybody knows any more, please post: I've fallen back into using
Rhythmbox for the past couple of months and it's a hard fall :-)
