By any chance are your settings folder connected to a cloud?

Thanks for your reply
That was the first thing I checked. There was no difference removing/renaming Count Pages.json file. I compared the versions prior to uninstall it (when the addon failed) and after reinstalling the addon and the files were identical. Anyway the file does not seem too complicated
My settings folder is local, under $HOME/.config/calibre .

cat $HOME/.config/calibre/plugins/Count\ Pages.json
{
"Options": {
"buttonDefault": "Estimate",
"overwriteExisting": true
}
}

That is expected.

If changing the configuration fixed things, then I daresay that was the problem.
I do not know if or why your settings may have changed of their own volition.

Yes, I'm happy now it works as should
I didn't know about the randomness of the json settings.
Just I was curious to know why it was failing now (well, as cybmole said, since Calibre 2.5 version) and why there is so few people affected.... perhaps there is not a lot of people using "Count Pages" addon.

Yeeees, I know! But I don't know why it was always well. And I don't know if cybmole have the same problem. I wrote my post to say how I fixed it.
