But different builds.

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.
