I do not provide support for people using distro provided packages. If you are using a distro provided package, uninstall it and install the official calibre binary from https://calibre-ebook.com/download_linux and if you can reproduce the bug with that, re-open the ticket. Of course, if you are already using the official binary, apologies and feel free to re-open the ticket immediately :)

Thanks for taking a look anyway. I checked and the official binary works.
I'll file this bug with edubuntu and keep that in mind while testing.

I filed it already against Ubuntu packages and the official package does work. So the bug is with Edubuntu and not upstream.

Thomas, that's also incorrect, you need to file it against the Ubuntu package since Edubuntu is not a separate distribution from Ubuntu. Please read the wiki link I posted above.

This might be resolved with a late sync/FFe from Debian. Investigating.

Sadly, upgrading to 6.15.1 from Debian did not fix this bug, which means there's a problem with the Debian patches or a dependency. Sadly, I don't think I'm going to be able to fix this.

The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the upstream distributor by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Debian/Bugs. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.
