Running the postinstall, I get the error that help2man can't get --help from calibre-fontconfig. It then says that "unable to create MAN page for calibre-fontconfig"

This seems to be a serious problem. While the command line prs500 info sees my Ereader, nothing else seems possible. I can't get the Calibre GUI to run. Running things from the command line get far, but ultimately crash with similar errors about fontconfig (for example, I ran web2lrf nytimes and it downloaded for a long time, but then at the end, it crashed).

I'm using Kubuntu 8.04.

Can anyone tell me what to do to fix the problem? help2man is installed.
