For your information, this is new in version 6.0, because the support 
for the database has been enabled in debian only in that version because 
the dependencies have been lightened (it previously required litesql, 
which is not packaged anywhere, now it only depends on sqlite3, which is 
a very light dependency that can already be found in debian).


However, by default (if the option db_name is not set in the biboumi.cfg 
file), biboumi will try to open (or create) the database file  
$XDR_DATA_HOME/biboumi.sqlite or $HOME/.config/biboumi/biboumi.sqlite if 
XDR_DATA_HOME is not defined.

You also have to make sure the path is correct, somehow.
