My Ebooks your calibre library? What do you see in this folder? Are there any actual ebook files in this directory structure?

Unless you do something special your metadata.db file is the root of your calibre library folder. What folder did you acquire the June DB file from?

This is expected of a metadata.db file that does not find the folders/files it expects in the folder it is in.

At this point I see no bug.
Without looking over your shoulder it is hard to tell for sure. But whatever folder you found the June metadata.db file is the folder that was most likely holding your calibre library and should be the folder you point to in preferences/general.
I think you have been pointing to the wrong folder and dragging the metadata.db file to the wrong folder will do what you have described. Put the metadata.db file back where it was and point to that folder.
