Hello, I've been using Calibre for some time and had a very old version. I recently upgraded to 5.2 and then to 5.3 and Calibre stopped working. It crashed just after initializing the interface. I have removed Calibre completely and reinstalled and I still get the same error message from calibre-debug, pasted below.
I'd appreciate any assistance!
