OK, this is starting to make some sense. Somehow you have installed the sqlite node globally, so it isn't getting updated. I suggest you remove it  
`npm remove -g node-red-node-sqlite`  
then make sure it is installed locally  
`npm i --unsafe-perm node-red-node-sqlite`  
note, no -g, and restart node-red. I don't know why you have dateformat installed. Is it something you use in your flows? It probably isn't relevant to the issues here.
