Hide Forgot
The full details are at http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?p=3282205 , but the short version is that I fixed a crash bug by removing the Fedora package and installing the upstream dependencies-included binary version. I gather there's some kind of fight between Calibre and Fedora on how Calibre should be packaged, and frankly what I'm seeing so far makes me think the Fedora side is more likely to be the sane side, but I thought y'all should know anyway.
ok, your convert works fine here. ;( 1. Have you installed hipchat or viber on your system? 2. what version of calibre from packages do you have? 'rpm -q calibre' 3. Can you try this packaged version scratch build? https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=13399395 Sorry that upstream is still so distro hostile. We just want to help more folks use their fine application.
Oops. Should have made sure that build completed, which it didn't. ;) Please try https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=13399427 instead.
I'm certainly not *aware* of installing hipchat or viber; this is a headless server (in fact, it's a headless VM on a headless server). rlpowell@vrici> sudo dnf list installed '*ip*hat*' '*iber*' Last metadata expiration check performed 2:18:52 ago on Sun Mar 20 16:34:03 2016.

I was about to push this host to rawhide for unrelated reasons; do you need me to stay on F23 to test this?
Sorry for the delay. If you haven't reinstalled yet, could you do: rpm -V python-qt5 and see if it outputs anything?
I'm sorry, I thought I updated this: rlpowell@vrici> rpm -V python-qt5 rlpowell@vrici>
Weird. I don't understand what could be different on your machine. Will try and come up with some theory.
After literally years, figured this out: There were random old crappy *system-level* libs in /usr/local/lib, and they were *in use*: rlpowell@vrici> sudo ldd /usr/bin/* | grep /usr/local/lib | awk '{ print $3 }' | sort | uniq -c [sudo] password for rlpowell: ldd: /usr/bin/miniterm-2.7.py: No such file or directory ldd: warning: you do not have execution permission for `/usr/bin/mono-sgen-gdb.py' 2 /usr/local/lib/libQtCore.so.4 1 /usr/local/lib/libQtGui.so.4 82 /usr/local/lib/libfontconfig.so.1 101 /usr/local/lib/libfreetype.so.6 5 /usr/local/lib/libguile-2.0.so.22 Removing that crap plus a re-install cleared the problem right up. ;___; I can't believe it was something so dumb. Sorry about that!
Ah ha! Good catch... glad you tracked it down. :)
