I get this when adding an ebook (in attachment) to my library.

I'm using the Romanian Locale. I'm using it on Kubuntu 15.04.
I'm using Calibre 2.20.

The ebook in cause can also be downloaded from: http://qmlbook.github.io/assets/

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 http://calibre-ebook.com/download_linux and if you can reproduce the bug with that, re-open the ticket.

Does not happen on the version from the site. I'll report this on the package. Thank you.
