After some experimentation, I determined that calibre will run fine the very first time, and create the Calibre Library and .config/calibre directories. But if launched while those directories exist, it will crash, every time. I've tried completely deinstalling and reinstalling several times, the reinstall goes fine and Calibre launches and runs the first time, but as soon as it is restarted it's back to crashing every time.

I'm going to continue troubleshooting but I was hoping someone might have already encountered it and know a work around.

I need to stick with 4.23 for now as I'd like to use the DeDRM and Obok plugins, which have not been updated for 5 yet.

Any clues or leads appreciated.
Please open a terminal and run calibre in debug mode then post the result, also please post the entire SIGABT error code.

Code:
calibre-debug -g
