Can that be related?

I manage to fix this my self whit following step.

cd /etc/pihole
sudo rm -r pihole-FTL.db
pihole -r

So it seems like maybe something got wrong during the pihole install.

Probably.

Your debug log shows the database was only 20Kb in size:

*** [ DIAGNOSING ]: Pi-hole FTL Query Database
-rw-rw-r-- 1 pihole pihole 20K Sep 16 17:04 /etc/pihole/pihole-FTL.db

Even a completely empty pihole-FTL database should be larger (around 80Kb). I think something went wrong during the database creation, leading to this error.

Glad you fixed!

Yes i thought so to. That`s why i posted how i fix it if someone else end up whit the same problem they could try this out to.

I had the mysterious phenomenon and used the same solution.

The error was solved and never occurred again.
