The version that is installed is 3.12.1.
When I add some books, the database is rarely well updated, I tried by copy/paste some books or with Calibre, I met the problem each time.
It happened even when KSM was not installed.

Nickel often crashes, and KSM restarts.
But I'm not sure that it was the case when KSM and Koreader was not installed, I don't remember, so I can't blame Nickel for that

Is there any new version of Nickel, upper than 3.12.1 ?
Is it possible to install it without breaking KSM and Koreader ?

Thanks for your help
Given the rather active thread Kobo Glo SQLite Database about issues with database corruption and KSM? IMNSHO, The issue is more likely to be KSM than nickel.

I've seen very few cases of database corruption using Kobo readers from the original to the H2O that was not triggered by my actions such as forgetting to eject before disconnecting.

Those other times when the database was corrupted seemed to be connected with attempting to add epubs that were not standards compliant. One lovely example had a TOC entry for every paragraph. Others were created by software that didn't seem to have heard of the epub standard. Hence my current paranoia for running epubs through epubcheck and Flightcrew before adding them to Calibre.
