[Slackbuilds-users] Trouble building calibre

[Larry Hajali]

It seems like calibre isn't compatible with the new cssutils I
upgraded recently.  It also looks like Slackware -current is still
using python 2.6 and so it doesn't look like calibre will be
upgradeable in the near future.  In order to get calibre to build I
had to downgrade cssutils to 0.9.7.  I will be submitting a new build
for cssutils and downgrade to version 0.9.7.

In the mean time, you should downgrade cssutils to 0.9.7 or use
AlienBobs calibre package.  His package is newer then the one on SBo.
