Lost in an ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid

I have an error I don’t know how to debug. I am adding the login
suport in Depot (the example in the RoR book) and
LoginController#add_user throws ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid in an
innocent /login/add_user GET request.

The trace goes down to a call to SQLiteAdapter#table_structure, and
the source code suggests what’s happening is that “PRAGMA
table_structure(#{table_name})” is returning empty metadata for some
reason:

 def table_structure(table_name)
   returning structure = execute("PRAGMA table_info(#

{table_name})") do
raise ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid if structure.empty?
end
end

Now, the sqlite client returns this:

 sqlite> pragma table_info("users");
 cid         name        type        notnull     dflt_value  pk
 ----------  ----------  ----------  ----------  ----------

 0           id          integer     0                       1
 1           name        varchar(10  99                      0
 2           hashed_pas  char(40)    0                       0

And the model class is this:

require ‘digest/sha1’

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
attr_accessor :password
attr_accessible :name, :password

 validates_uniqueness_of :name
 validates_presence_of :name, :password

 def before_create
   self.hashed_password = User.hash_password(self.password)
 end

 def after_create
   @password = nil
 end

 private
 def self.hash_password(password)
   Digest::SHA1.hexdigest(password)
 end

end

Any hints?
