Control: tag -1 + moreinfo Hi Luis,
Is this issue also present in stretch's released calibre_2.75.1+dfsg-1, and if so, is it also present in the Calibre version in stretch-backports? https://backports.debian.org/ Reply follows inline: On Tue, Jun 02, 2015 at 12:45:12PM -0500, Luis Mochan wrote: > Package: calibre > Version: 2.24.0+dfsg-1 > Severity: important > > Dear Maintainer, > > After upgrading to Debian/stretch I found that Calibre was unable to open pdf > books, with errors such as > Unable to find the requested file.

Are the files local or is this a remote share (SSH/SFTP/SAMBA/etc)? > The files do exist and I can open them from both file managers by clicking on > them.

So I guess the problem > is related to the protocol used to communicate with the file managers. So this issue is specific to PDFs? Do ebooks in epub, mobi, etc. open successfully in Calibre (or calibre-viewer) when clicking on them in Nautilus or Thunar? What happens when you drag and drop a PDF into the middle library pane of the Calibre window? Thanks for the bug report, Nicholas
