Hi,

I have problems using calibredb. When I run it without sudo it fails silently (not returning any results), only when I use sudo it succeeds:

Code:

sudo calibredb list --fields="title,author_sort,tags,cover" --for-machine

I tried to repair the rights to my database-file as well as the executables, but that didn’t change anything.

Any idea how to fix this?

I’m on macOS 10.12 Sierra.
