I just upgraded calibre from 1.48.0+dfsg-1 which worked pretty well, but this new version does not start: python2.7: /tmp/buildd/sip4-4.16.3+dfsg/siplib/siplib.c:8514: sip_api_can_convert_to_type: Assertion `(((td)->td_flags & 0x0007) == 0x0000) || (((td)->td_flags & 0x0007) == 0x0002)' failed. In the meanwhile python-sip upgraded from 4.16.2+dfsg-1 to 4.16.3+dfsg-1, nevertheless reverting did not help at all.
