+
+Fresh Beta3 installation. The database (NOT config!) file is me-tv.db
+and it is installed by the package. I also tried erasing the file
+after installation before starting the application - the message about
+the old db persists. See below

+- removed ~/.local/share/me-tv/ (including the me-tv.db)
+
+Result: Starting me-tv runs into a timeout. Message in konsole:
+
+(me-tv:1956) : Unique-DBUS-WARNING **: Error while sending message:
+Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include [followed by the
+generic causes ( message bus security block, reply timeout expired,
+network connection broke, etc.)]
+
+After reboot I started me-tv again, the message about the old database
+appears - ~/.local/share/me-tv/ is there again, including the
+database.
+
+----------------
+
+Now I installed me-tv (plus dependencies) on a Cauldron which has been
+updated since Alpha stage: exactly the same result.
