Ubuntu server - "cannot import name QRawFont"

[apiontek]

Hi - I had Calibre 0.9.12 freshly installed on an Ubuntu Server 12.10 system, running calibre-server headless to share my eBooks. It was working fine.

I just upgraded to 0.9.13 and the installer ended with:

Checking downloaded file integrity... 
Extracting files to /opt/calibre ...

Run "calibre" to start calibre

I have a "calibre-server" init.d script to start it as a service. Running that gave me:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "site.py", line 56, in main

ImportError: cannot import name QRawFont

I did some searching and thought maybe I'd need to install PyQT, which on Ubuntu 12.10 is "python-qt4" - unfortunately, it didn't resolve the issue. I get the same Traceback.

How can I fix this? Is there a way I can revert to 0.9.12 for the time being?

Install fontconfig.

I did apt-get install fontconfig and it installed "fontconfig_2.10.1-0ubuntu3_amd64.deb"

I get the same Traceback error:
