Dependencies are broken! Quick fix, please update release!

Description

org-mode is broken for any new installs. Tried adding it for about 3 days to no avail.

org-roam depends on emacsql-sqlite-builtin which for some reason is not pulled in the install. Should be specified in the dependencies. The error message in emacs is not helpful: Selecting deleted buffer

Here's the source of the solution: https://org-roam.discourse.group/t/org-roam-fails-with-selecting-deleted-buffer-error/3353/7

Steps to Reproduce

Install org-mode on a fresh emacs.

Solution

add emacsql-sqlite-builtin as a dependency for org-mode

@daninus14 org-roam already supports emacsql-sqlite-builtin.

You can see it here:
https://www.orgroam.com/manual.html#How-to-cache

You need to add:

(setq org-roam-database-connector 'sqlite-builtin)

If you use use-package you can try:

(use-package org-roam
  :custom
  (org-roam-database-connector 'sqlite-builtin))

Note it's available only in the melpa version not the stable release. The latest stable release is very old.

Thank you, I have it working.

The issue was not support, it does support it. The issue is that on installing it doesn't install emacsql-sqlite-builtin by default as a dependency, so a new user installing org roam will not be able to use the software. The error message in emacs is also vague, so it's not clear what the issue is.
