Package: calibre
Version: 3.26.1+dfsg-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
When using Calibre with Turkish UTF-8 locale, Calibre UI fails to start. If
it's a first install, welcome wizard is displayed correctly, but after
completing the wizard, the UI fails. The calibre process stays in the
background. To remedy the issue, user needs to set locale to en_US.UTF-8 before
startup.
Reproducibility: 100% (Every time)
Reproduction steps:
1- Set system locale to tr_TR-UTF-8
2- Install Calibre
3- Start Calibre
4- (If needed) complete the welcome wizard.
5- UI crashes, traceback is shown. Closing window hangs Calibre process in the
background.
5a- Subsequent starts (even after killing the process) will fail with the same
error.
Expected behavior:
1- Set system locale to tr_TR-UTF-8
2- Install Calibre
3- Start Calibre
4- (If needed) complete the welcome wizard.
5- Calibre starts, and functions as expected.
Temporary workaround:
- Set process' locale to en_US-UTF-8
