Database creation fails with an error message:

workaround: I ran the database creation command in the sequencer source tree, where it also gave the same error, but actually created a working database file. Then copied the file to the location specified in sequence.toml and it worked properly.

This is a known problem, thanks for creating the issue, I hope I'll have some time to fix this soon
