1.10 update fails and Borks system

a_hardwick · 11-08-2013, 07:30 PM

This is the first time an update has failed on this system. Wondering if anyone else has the same issue. 32 bit linux/Debian and have installed/updated a dozen times without problems. Calibre will not start now. Gives bus error form command line.

Everything's fine here (2 Linux x86, 1 Windows x64).

Can you copy/paste the error? Have you tried to just re-install (I suppose you have)?

There's also the --verbose switch for moreinfo on launch.

The only change to the linux binary build was an update of zlib to 1.2.8

Presumably, some library on your system is crashing with that version of zlib. Use strace -f or gdb to find out where the crash is happening. Or just delete /opt/calibre/lib/libz.so.1 to have calibre use your system zlib instead.
