The current git master uses DBVersion 3, the difference to version 2 being the 
Exif_Photo_LensModel column.

Your exif db already has the lens model column. I just realized that this is a 
problem in the upgrade routine. The schema update fails to update the 
DBVersion field.

You can try fixing this discrepancy manually for now:
sqlite4 exif-info.db "update settings set value = '3' where keyword = 
'DBVersion';"

Seems like it. It would be normal if the number of entries differed a little 
(video files, other image files that are not parsable by exiv2), but not by 
such a large margin.
