Reposting here just to be sure. I checked Calibre in Groovy (version 4.99.12+dfsg+really4.23.0-1) and it works fine. As per bug report #1898904 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/calibre/+bug/1898904/comments/7), Calibre >=4.15 has the required patch. So, instead of waiting for 5.2, can we backport current Groovy version of Calibre to Focal?
