Comment(by wonder):

 You seem to be affected by an issue that installation prefix is empty -
 this is typically caused by having some files from old installation (to be
 precise: a plugin for older version of qgis is loaded which also loads
 older qgis libraries and creates the mess). That's also why it fails to
 open the database file.

 To fix this, the easiest way would be to remove your ~/extra directory and
 install qgis again. If you don't want to do that (other applications in
 that directory), just make sure to remove ~/extra/lib/qgis and all files
 matching ~/extra/lib/libqgis*

 We should probably add some versioning to the names of plugin binaries to
 avoid loading incompatible plugins.
