I am learning to use QGIS with the QGIS training manual (from the QGIS website). One of the excercises is to load vector data from a database (ch 3.1.3 in case you have the manual). When I try to do so I get the following error:

Unexpected error when working with: /home/(...)/exercise_data/epsg4326/landuse.sqlite

obsolete libspatialite: connecting to this DB requires using v.4.0 (or any >subsequent)

Does anyone know what's wrong? I am using Ubuntu (latest version, had same issue before update). I also had the following error when opening QGIS:

Couldn't load PyQGIS. Python support will be disabled.

I'm just mentioning this in case it is related, if not you can ignore it (will post seperate question if needed).

As indicated in error message you need to install libspatialite version 4 or higher. I use OpenSUSE and this package is called libspatialite5 there. Here you are a couple of links to tutorials for installing spatialite on Ubuntu: Installing Spatialite 4 on Ubuntu, Spatialite on Ubuntu.
