Description
Yet another user on IRC encountered the message "sqlite3.DatabaseError: file is encrypted or is not a database"
It would be better if an exception handler that is responsible for this error made additional read from DB file to check if its first line contains SQLite2 format signature.
** This file contains an SQLite 2.1 database **

Well I have some incomplete work based on patch in #8647, but I am not sure it works now when #8625 is closed. I still haven't found a proper place where to put this DB check - see comment:12:ticket:8625

I think it's simple enough to realize what has to be done when seeing this error message, given all the troubleshooting information that is available:
google:"DatabaseError: file is encrypted or is not a database"
