Error upgrading calibre to 0.6.23-x86_64 - Ubuntu Karmic AMD64

AprilHare · 11-14-2009, 02:15 AM

Hey,
I received the following when upgrading from 0.6.21:

No help I know, but I had the same error on Karmic 64 as well.

After running the upgrader Calibre does show it is running 6.23 and seems to run OK.

I just tried it, seems to be working. Can you try it again?

Same error on debian.

Is there a manual installation procedure? I can run the resultant binary but it does not work:

OK can you try manually untarring the file (you can get it from) http://code.google.com/p/calibre-ebook/downloads/list

weedfreak · 11-15-2009, 06:01 AM

Manual extraction with tar -xjf calibre-0.6.23-x86_64.tar.bz2 is OK , no error messages

kovidgoyal · 11-15-2009, 11:45 AM

OK I've added a flush call to the file descriptor for the tar file, that should fix this. Try the installer again.

weedfreak · 11-16-2009, 03:59 AM

Running installer still gives the same error messages, sorry to say.
