Normally the version is stored in one of the tables, unless it is
a really old database (0.14.4 or worse). This way the version check
returns "0.14.4" for any database, which exists, but has no "Config"
table. The real reason behind this message in a modern enviroment is
most probably a pre-written secret.php file, which enables
application's access to an empty database. This is not a common case,
because the installer script normally populates the DB after it writes
secret.php file.
Perhaps, at this point the RPM shouldn't come with secret.php, but let
the user create it.
