Attribute id redefined error for some Ebooks

[fb13]

Hi folks,

I have a problem converting some ebooks into epub using Calibre. Some of my ebooks cause following error message:

Spoiler:

I dont understand, why this only happens to a few ebooks... Did you have a similar issue or is there already a solution for this problem?

Though judging by the error message your files have invalid OPF inside them, with multiple uses of the same id.
