Comment 3 Christian Krause 2011-03-16 22:55:06 UTC
The problem can be easily reproduced. It was also reported
- for Ubuntu: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/calibre/+bug/428933
and
- upstream: http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=78426

Unfortunately calibre needs a patched pyPdf library which it is shipped with. I can confirm that using the internal pyPdf lib solves this specific problem.

Currently I see 3 solutions here:
- use the internal library (which is discouraged by Fedora's packaging guidelines)
- use the external library (and patch calibre)
- ask upstream to reconsider and change calibre to use the official pyPdf library

Comment 4 Kevin Fenzi 2011-03-17 02:07:42 UTC
IMHO, we should patch calibre. We should not bundle libs like this... asking upstream would be great, but not sure they will be interested. ;(
