[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#850037: r-cran-rsqlite: Row value IN queries give syntax errors.

[Kirill Müller]

Thanks. I'm getting the following error when running the query from the 
sqlite3 command line (package version 3.14.1-1build1 on Ubuntu 16.10):

 > sqlite3 test.db
SQLite version 3.14.1 2016-08-11 18:53:32
Enter ".help" for usage hints.
sqlite> select
    ...>  (1,2,3) in (select x,y,z from t2),
    ...>  (7,8,9) in (select x,y,z from t2),
    ...>  (1,3,5) in (select x,y,z from t2);
Error: near ",": syntax error

What's the version of sqlite3 on your system?

Anyway, I'm upgrading the packaged sqlite3 library in the development 
version [1] soon, you may have better luck after the upgrade.
