Due to the ongoing purge, necessary modules (in particular python-cherryp圓) have been removed from Debian/sid, making the current Calibre package RC buggy (see this bug report). Current stateĭebian sid and testing currently hold Calibre 3.48 based on Python 2. Since it seems to be unclear what the current blockers are, there are two orthogonal problems regarding recent Calibre in Debian: One is the update to version 4 and the switch to qtwebengine, one is the purge of Python 2 from Debian.

Development of Calibre in Debian is continuing, despite the current stall. Many might have read my previous post on Calibre as a moratorium, but that was not my intention. To counter some recent FUD spread about Calibre in general and Calibre in Debian in particular, here a concise explanation of the current state.
