Yes, I had this exact issue as well.
Since sqlite is not recommended for use with KDE pim upstream, they
don't give you the option to select it in the akonadi configuration
wizard which starts up whenever you create a new KDE account and log-in
with it.
As such, the user's Akonadi PIM settings are pretty much guaranteed to
be broken if you're using *only* akonadi-backend-sqlite package, unless
you find some way to inject configuration files into the user's home
folder after they log into KDE for the first time.
(or as noted in the bug report of 650782, set a system-wide
configuration for akonadi to use QSQLITE3 which is something I didn't
see until just now, and I haven't tried it.).
