Took a while to get back to this...
Opensuse 12.1,
KDE 4.7.2, Composition is OFF.
Calibre 0.8.60 (happened under 0.8.59 also)
Starting with v0.8.58 installed in /opt.
A normal install using the download script will continue through
the desktop integration section, and then throw the exception
/usr/bin/xdg-icon-resource: line 589: 3207 Segmentation fault $GTK_UPDATE_ICON_CACHE -f -t "$1" > /dev/null 2> /dev/null
At this point, ~home/.config/calibre/global.py has been overwritten.
Further attempts have the same result.
If global.py is edited to set database path and library path,
an Install will complete.
However, on first run, caliber still presents a dialog asking for a library path.
When the fields are filled, and the dialog closed,
the Dialog box seems to hang and the console gets:
GLib-CRITICAL **: g_main_context_pop_thread_default: assertion `g_queue_peek_head (stack) == context' failed
This is likely because the new installation still has a new uuid.
it is strange that having a partially updated global.py, seems to let calibre
avoid a broken code branch long enough to put up the dialog.
'Twould seem that, at this point, the uuid is updated.
Because any subsequent runs show the same behavior.
UNLESS, I again edit in those 2 paths.
All subsequent runs using:
calibre-debug --gui
will dump to console, messages much like the following;

That's about as much debug I'm likely to get.
2. additional questions Please.
First, is seems a well known secret to everyone other than me, But,
How do I avoid having my Caliber environment overwritten every week.
It may have something to do with a python variable env_keep.
But, I'm having no luck understanding how to set and keep it.
Second, My attempt to install 2 versions side by side, and switch using a link in /opt/calibre/calibre, fails because python won't write to a link.
Is there a workaround for that?
TIA
