Preferences can not be set

I see an error when I select Tools > Preferences.

The message says to check the database. No errors are reported & it does not fix the problem.

The database is an SQLite3 db in /home//.local/share/anki2.

I have read/write permission on this folder & on the database. Don’t know what permissions the database itself may have on its tables etc.

Exited Anki, renamed the databsse & restarted Anki. As expected, it created a new database with default settings. The error on Tools > Preferences continued.
Running Ubuntu 22.04. Installed Anki from Ubuntu’s Discover package manager.

The message follows.

Please update to a more recent version from the website. Anki 2.1.15 is several years old.

Updated to the Ubuntu Snap package, which is version 2.1.54. Problem fixed.

There’s a problem with that version also, but only 1 and it’s minor. I’ll start a new topic for it if I don’t find one already open.

Many thanks, topic closed.
