Hi

thanks for all your detailed answers.

[QUOTE=eschwartz;3547545]the following shell command prints out a newline-separated list of binaries calibre installs to /usr/bin:[/QUODE]

thanks. BTW, the text for the web site/help, can it be also programmatically extracted so that I can generate man pages from it?

Indeed, I checked and see that the installation does not work out, as mime type and desktop files are not installed.

The error is happening in the desktop-integration install process, and xdg-icon-resource breaks. I was suprised because --root (--staging-root) is passed to the install, and it wasn't forwarded to the desktop integration install code.

Reading through setupp/install.py I also see a comment that one needs to set XDG_DATA_DIRS, which I did, without any change.

I will try to fix this so that the correct desktop files are installed.

Both of the above is again a consequence of the failed desktop integration installation. I will try to fix that and remove the locally used desktop/mime file.

Preferences -> Pluigns -> Get new plugins

is not patched out, works well! Using it.

In principle this is the same in Debian ;-)

Thanks again for your suggestions, I will work on fixing as much as I can together with Martin.

All the best
