Hi Kovid, I already installed the windows version at work, and it looks useful (I have some idea/request/bug tickets that I'll file later).
However, when I tried installing at home on a Ubuntu hardy box, using the method on
http://calibre.kovidgoyal.net/download_ubuntu
(which I do realise is titled "Ubuntu
Interpid Ibex" <-- sp? "Intrepid" surely!), it barfed as follows on the last step:
Code:
$ sudo calibre_postinstall
Trying to setup udev rules...
* Restarting Hardware abstraction layer hald [ OK ]
Setting up bash completion... failed
Traceback (most recent call last):

Before digging into anything myself, I'm wondering if this is simply a "hardy" vs "intrepid" problem (in which case I guess I'll just have to upgrade sooner rather than later), or some other problem with a known solution?
