Catalog generation fail

Hello all,

Can't seem to generate a Catalog... Using Calibre 0.8.68 on Linux (Slackware). When I try the catalog in .MOBI format I get the following error. It does work properly if I choose .CSV output format...

Code:
Generate catalog
 Sections: Authors, Titles
Catalog_EPUB_MOBI(): Generating mobi for kindle in GUI environment
 connected_device: 'None'
 book count: 969
 opts:
  author_clip: 60
  catalog_title: u'My Books'
  connected_kindle: False
  description_clip: 100
  exclude_genre: u'.'
  exclusion_rules: ()
  fmt: u'mobi'
  header_note_source_field: ''
  merge_comments_rule: '::True'
  output_profile: 'kindle'
  prefix_rules: ()
  search_text: None
  sort_by: None
  sort_descriptions_by_author: True
  sync: False
  thumb_width: u'1.00'
  use_existing_cover: False
 Thumbnails:
  DPI = 168; thumbnail dimensions: 84 x 112

UnicodeEncodeError: 'latin-1' codec can't encode character u'\u2019' in position 6: ordinal not in range(256)
Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks a lot.

It looks like you have an author whose Author Sort value has a right single quote contained somewhere in the author's name. That's clearly a bug that needs to be fixed. I will try to recreate it, but if you find the author and post both the author name and author sort value that would be helpful. In the meantime a workaround would be to replace the single quote with an apostrophe.

I am unable to replicate the problem by simply inserting right single quotes in author, title, or series.

Create a ticket at calibre's bug reporting site, and attach your metadata.db file to the ticket so I can what data is causing the problem. You can find your metadata.db file in your library folder.
