Build All, Cannot open deletion database. Reason:
I've just installed Links 2.0, and I get the following error when clicking on "Build All". Can not open deletion database, reason...no such file or directory.

I have the following databases:
ads.db, categories.db, elist.db, email.db, inhits.db, keywlog.db, links.db, members.db, modified.db, uhit.db, url.db, validate.db
All are set to 666, my databse directory is set to 777

Is there an additional database that I should have?

Looks to me like you are using a HACKED version of Links 2.0 or Links SQL v.1.X or higher. This message should not occur with the out-of-box versions of either applications.

If you are using that EXTENDED LINKS or LINKS PRO crap hacked versions, then that is mostly your problem.
