Now it's getting more interesting

First off, I'm running the current Ghostscript, as per your instructions and "gs - v". Calibre got updated today to 7.2.4. From what I can tell, all PDF-related extensions are enabled, but there's a lot of random stuff in there. Not finding pdfmanipulate is totally weird, right? Funny thing is, it's claiming this locate.database issue but I've built that database a few times now.
Thoughts?
