Okay, here are two textfiles: https://workupload.com/archive/s5UA56r

Running the editor with gdb made it clear the problem is somehow in trying to use the program as normal user. When I run it as superuser, then there is no problems.

In the link above, I have attached two files:

gdb-ebook-edit2.txt

This is the log for the edit-ebook programm started independent from gdb and then attached to it. In this way, the steps I took before the program froze up on me:

Open book -->Tools --> Table of Contents --> Edit Table of Contents --> Select all --> Deleted them all --> Freeze up, but no crash-shutdown. Had to forcequit program.


& gdb-ebook-edit3.txt:

This is when I started the program directly from gdb. Interestingly, in this case there was no freeze up or crash. And yet, when I start the very same book (which is basically *any* epub I have) without it being attached to gdb, it crashes pretty quickly when I delete the toc.

The difference, apparently, lies running it as user and as superuser.

How do I solve this? Is some sort of permission missing when I'm running it as normal user or something? As mentioned, I only ever update calibre via command line with the command provided on calibre's own download page. How and where could I have even messed it up?

Thank you kindly for your help!
