Dear all, (please Cc)
I am the Debian maintainer of Calibre, and unfortunately it seems that for Focal Ubuntu has pulled a preliminary version of Calibre, which is **seriously** broken and unusable, not even starting in most cases. We were forced by the Python3 transition to temporarily ship pre-release versions of Calibre. In particular, Ubuntu Focal ships 4.99.4+dfsg+really4.12.0-1build1 which is version 4.12 with experimental Python3 patches on top of it. This worked for a short time being until Calibre 5 was released with proper Python3 support. Due to this unfortunate squeeze in release timing, Ubuntu Focal users now have a seriously broken Calibre, and upstream is swamped with bug reports. I would strongly suggest and support, and help preparing, an update to Focal based on the current version in Debian/testing, 5.2.0+dfsg-1, which has been out since quite some time and field-tested with Python3 in various environments, due to upstream having switched to Py3, too. Is the above (update to 5.2.0) possible in Ubuntu Focal, and if yes, what kind if steps are necessary? Note that I am not an Ubuntu developers, but Debian developer and maintainer of Calibre.
