Updates 2.20 and higher don't work!!!
All updates from version 2.20 upwards don't work. I get the following message (both for the 23-bit and the 64-bit version):

calibre, version 2.21.0
FOUT: Opstartfout: Er is een fout opgetreden bij het starten van calibre. delen van calibre functioneren mogelijk niet. Klik "Toon details" voor meer informatie.

If I downgrade to version 2.19, everything is fine!!!

@josdb - At a guess I'd say something has gone awry with the file gui.json

Open configuration folder via Preferences->Miscellaneous and click Open configuration directory
  1. Close calibre.
  2. Rename the file gui.json to save_gui.json
  3. Try starting calibre 2.20 or 21
  4. If it works my guess was right, otherwise delete the gui.json and rename save_gui.json back to gui.json
Let us know what happens - if my guess was wrong someone else will have some other suggestions.

BR

That indicates your metadata.db is corrupted. The corruption is just not being encountered by older versions of calibre. You can fix it by following the instructions I gave in this thread:

I did that and everything seems to be restored, but I got the following message:

That means you had a duplicate book. (It had the same id # as another book, probably duplicated by a move-with-file-lock. Sync programs, e.g. cloud storage, can do that.)

See Library Maintenance ==> Check Library.

It means that more than one book in the library had the same calibre database ID. This frequently happens when the calibre library is on a NAS/network drive, because many NAS implementations cannot handle renaming files/directories using hard links. One failure mode is to create the new directory but leave the old directory behind. Calibre restore sees these directory as books with the same ID. It can also happen when using cloud storage and running calibre on more than one computer at a time.

You should check that book, author Spufford_ Francis, title Red Plenty, to see if the cover and all the formats are there.
