Hi Rafal,
Thanks for reporting the bug. I analysed it and these are my toughts
about it:
The manpage specifies:
If no database exists, the add command will create it automatically (in
the current directory, unless the TDL_DATABASE environment is set, in
which case this specifies the path to use).
This is the point where tdl fails. The auto-create behaviour has a
bug.
However, if you run the command create, tdl works as expected, you
can use it as you wish. To remove lock problems, remove the file
.tdldb.lock that was created automatically.
About the lockfile, it is created in the same directory of the
database file. It should not be a global lockfile (home directory),
since some users (like me) open several tdl at the same time, each one
using a diferent directory/database/lockfile.
I'm working on this bug, as a workaround, please create the database
with the create command before adding new tasks.
- changing the bug severity to normal, since the program can be
used as expected if you create the database first. It is not completly
unusable.
Thanks,
Pedro

Package: tdl
Version: 1.5.2-2
Severity: grave
When trying to add a task I get this message:
warning: no database found above this directory
When trying to add it again or trying to save it the message looks like
this:
Database ./.tdldb appears to be locked by (pid,node,user)=(9707,thor,rjc)
This makes the program completely unusable.
It also would be a better idea to create the lock file in the home
directory instead of the current one.
