Exclamation Calibre 0.9.33 refuses to start with Ubuntu 12.04LTS, missing file =>SOLVED

Hello, first i want to thank you for this fine program.

It was running smooth til todays update =0.9.33.
On my standard Ubuntu 12.04 the installation quit with error missing file
"libffi.so.5".
On my system only "libffi.so.4" and "libffi.so.6" can be found.
So calibre will not run.

I don't know whether this is an adequate solution,
but for now it helps to set a symbolic link to "libffi.so.5" by entering the line:

Code:
 sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libffi.so.6 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libffi.so.5
This works on 32bit system. for 64bit the line has to be adapted.

Bye

Lanson
