datasette package --spatialite throws error during build

See original GitHub issue

Hello! Attempting to use datasette package to bundle up a SpatiaLite DB and I’m getting this error during the docker build:

sqlite3.OperationalError: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mod_spatialite.so.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Seems to be throwing when this step is ran:

ERROR [6/6] RUN datasette inspect results.db --inspect-file inspect-data.json

This is with v0.63.1.

Oh this is with datasette package? That should work. Will investigate.

Okay, my final observations for the night! I’ve been pushing and pulling the various levers in utils/__init__.py to see what makes this work without hard-coding in something for arm64 and it seems that if I change /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mod_spatialite.so here to just mod_spatialite it’s happy.

Unfortunately cannot audit that for x86_64, but maybe that’s a solution that’d be cross-arch compatible? It seems like it’s the hard-coding of that path that’s tripping it up.

(It was actually this comment from back in 2018 in an entirely unrelated repo that nudged me to try this, ha.)
