Where should i dig in?

Looks like there's a column that's not consistently there, so the table got created without it.

Easiest fix is to add alter=True to this line:

swarm-to-sqlite/swarm_to_sqlite/utils.py

Line 94 in f4a8263

photos_table.insert(photo, replace=True)

That will cause sqlite-utils to notice if there's a missing column and add it.

Shipped a fix for this in swarm-to-sqlite 0.3.2.
