----------------------------------

             Summary: Broctl installation requires sqlite but does not check for its presence
                 Key: BIT-1326
                 URL: https://bro-tracker.atlassian.net/browse/BIT-1326

    Affects Versions: git/master
            Reporter: Johanna Amann
             Fix For: 2.4


Trying to start broctl on a new installation of FreeBSD with a standard python installation results in the following error message upon first start:

{code}
[bro at marge ~/master]$ broctl
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/xa/bro/master/bin/broctl", line 29, in <module>
    from BroControl.broctl import BroCtl
  File "/xa/bro/master/lib/broctl/BroControl/broctl.py", line 8, in <module>
    from BroControl import util
  File "/xa/bro/master/lib/broctl/BroControl/util.py", line 6, in <module>
    from BroControl import config
  File "/xa/bro/master/lib/broctl/BroControl/config.py", line 10, in <module>
    from .state import SqliteState
  File "/xa/bro/master/lib/broctl/BroControl/state.py", line 2, in <module>
    import sqlite3
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/sqlite3/__init__.py", line 24, in <module>
    from dbapi2 import *
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/sqlite3/dbapi2.py", line 28, in <module>
    from _sqlite3 import *
ImportError: No module named _sqlite3
{code}

We should probably check for the module in cmake and refuse installation if it is not present.
