OperationalError: database is locked after upgrade from 2.21.32

Hello I updated my flexget from 2.21.32 to the lates 3.0.25 and I had to update the python to 3.7.3 on debian 10. Now I can’t start flexget, this is the error, even in flexget check

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/sqlalchemy/engine/base.py", line 755, in _commit_impl
    self.engine.dialect.do_commit(self.connection)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/sqlalchemy/engine/default.py", line 534, in do_commit
    dbapi_connection.commit()
sqlite3.OperationalError: database is locked

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

What can I do to solve this?

I will try again! I ended up rolling back eventing because I didn’t want to have the system stopped that long! I’ll try to make the update again! I have the system installed outside the virtual ev! This is a good time to update to virtual env.

Thank you

Good to hear. Closing this for now, reopen if relevant.
