Downloading a cover doesn't work anymore?

JGB · 12-04-2008, 11:27 PM

bad local file header in E:\Program Files\calibre\library.zip
Detailed traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "calibre\gui2\dialogs\metadata_single.pyo", line 279, in fetch_cover
File "calibre\ebooks\metadata\library_thing.pyo", line 27, in login

File "mechanize\_html.pyo", line 113, in __init__
ZipImportError: bad local file header in E:\Program Files\calibre\library.zip

I've tried restarting, and books that I know I downloaded the cover for before. No luck.
What did I break?

Try re-downloading and re-installing

JGB · 12-04-2008, 11:56 PM

Done and done. No luck.
Same errors occurs every time still.

kovidgoyal · 12-05-2008, 12:59 AM

perhaps the windows build is corrupted. Anyone else seeing this problem?

Dave Berk · 12-05-2008, 01:21 AM

in what version?

kovidgoyal · 12-05-2008, 01:30 AM

110 .

Dave Berk · 12-05-2008, 01:33 AM

Sorry. Haven't updated yet, and I'm at work, so I can't right now...

I have had no problems in either 109 or 110 on Windows.

I am sure there would be a lot more people commenting if it was a generic issue for all users.

kovidgoyal · 12-05-2008, 04:34 AM

Well the traceback indicates that the library.zip file is corrupted. Only other things i can think of that could cause this is disk corruption (which a reinstall should have taken care of) or a new overzealous antivirus program

JGB · 12-05-2008, 10:34 AM

Well it's very odd then. Seeing as I haven't changed a single setting in my AV since 0.8x, and haven't changed much in my pc since then either.
the previous version was being used less then 2 minutes before my upgrade, it was working fine.

Any ideas how I can fix it?

itimpi · 12-05-2008, 12:04 PM

Could it be a firewall blocking Calibre from accessing the internet?

Most firewalls will treat an upgraded program as a new program and require confirmation that the updated program is allowed to access the internet.

JGB · 12-05-2008, 12:09 PM

Nope mine is set to allow caliber to do anything it wants, full permissions for modifying and full permissions for internet access.
If I had to guess I'd say somehow the installer didn't reinstall the screwy file, since it was already there or something. Because it works now(complete caliber removal using revo uninstaller) and reinstalled.

I'm seeing the same thing in .110:
First I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "C:\Program Files\calibre\library.zip\calibre\ebooks\metadata\ library_thing.py", line 29, in login
File "mechanize\_mechanize.pyo", line 526, in select_form
FormNotFoundError: no form matching name 'signup'

Then on subsequent requests I get:

URLError:

After this I get continual ISBN not found errors on subsequent books. If I restart calibre, the cycle starts over again.

That's likely a temporary problem with the librarything website. try it again in a little while
