Bug Description

Trying to use the url dispatcher I got this error when trying to go to this url and other too:

** (process:31929): WARNING **: Unable to dispatch url 'scope://com.canonical.scopes.photos_photos':GDBus.Error:com.canonical.URLDispatcher.BadURL: URL 'scope://com.canonical.scopes.photos_photos' is not handleable by the URL Dispatcher

then in the log I found this:

** (process:2011): WARNING **: Unable to create tables: database is locked
** (process:2011): CRITICAL **: url_db_find_url: assertion 'db != NULL' failed

After all, ted suggested that restarting the url dispatcher would work and it did.

I've just hit this with rc-proposed image 104 on arale. The net affect is you can't launch ANY urls, so just about all the apps and scopes that use url-dispatcher stop working. This is really bad. If the db is getting corrupted, we need to be able to recover without forcing a restart.

I've attached my database.
