Dependencies

I have Debian 6.0 64 bit. I installed the calibre package. I'd like to use ebook-convert with recipes, but I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/lib/calibre/calibre/utils/config.py", line 367, in serialize_opt
    from PyQt4.QtCore import QString
ImportError: No module named PyQt4.QtCore

When I ask, aptitude says:

python-qt4 is already the newest version.
libqt4-core is already the newest version.

Can you help me what might be the problem?

Did you install the Debian package or did you use the Binary install per Calibre's instructions here? The binary install is the version officially supported.

I used the debian package. After purging and reinstalling python and python-qt4 my problem is solved. Sorry for the false alarm.
