Bug#746566: gdal-bin: ogr2ogr fails to create SQLite db using SPATIALITE=YES

[Andy Wood]

Package: gdal-bin
Version: 1.10.1+dfsg-5+b1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

The following command works and creates rat_boxes.sqlite:
   ogr2ogr -f "SQLite" rat_boxes.sqlite rat_boxes.xml

.... however the following command will continue indefinitely, aparently doing nothing:
   ogr2ogr -f "SQLite" rat_boxes.sqlite rat_boxes.xml -dsco SPATIALITE=YES

when interrupted both a .sqlite and a .sqlite-journal file is present.

This is a recent problem as this worked a month or so back.

libspatialite5 (4.1.1-9), spatialite-bin (4.1.1-4) libspatialite3 (3.1.0-rc2-2) are installed

Although this is being reported from x86_64, the same problem exists on i386.
