Package: calibre
Severity: normal

This problem relates to changes in the Qt bindings.  It has been addressed in
more recent versions of Calibre, so presumably the resolution to this involves
updating to a modern version of Calibre.

Notably, the following upstream bug report seems consistent:

http://bugs.calibre-ebook.com/ticket/2573

=====================================
When I click the "Click to browse books by Tags" it chrashes calibre.

ERROR: ERROR: Unhandled exception

TypeError:argument 1 of QAbstractitemModel.createIndex() has an invalid type
=====================================

The resolution was that the bug was rectified in trunk, on 2009-06-11:

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~kovid/calibre/trunk/revision/3005

This was part of the changes released as version 0.6.0, on 2009-07-25.

Note also that as a consequence of the lack of updates to the Debian deployment,
others have been working on Debian-style packaging.  (For instance, so that much
newer versions may be deployed for U*u**u...)

http://bugs.calibre-ebook.com/ticket/1435

The package has been undergoing pretty steady development - what's in
Debian at this point is *REALLY* behind. Is there anything that would be
useful to help with to help it to be updated to something more recent?
