Information: Calibre cannot be updated to > 6.21.0 at the moment, because calibre needs a newer podofo than is available for Tumbleweed. But Factory does not want to update the package. So my hands are tied.

Hello

calibre (6.27 or 6.28.1 from ecsos) is broken due to qt6 update

see my report https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1216258

Has nothing to do with calibre. It's only old python packages and missing qt6 libraries in the correct version. It build under Leap with alle newest python packages.

libjpeg-turbo, despite being a build dependency, is not a dependency of the built package, and thus breaks the lossless jpeg compression function in calibre unless it is manually installed.

You are right. Is fixed now and request is done.

Currently (2025-09-04) Calibre conflicts with Tumbleweed libQt6Gui6-6.9.1-2.1.x86_64 to 6.9.2-1.1 update. I can't update Tumbleweed without deinstalling Calibre.

Why don't you use the calibre from the normal sources? As you can see, the package is not currently being built. Also use the old build still outdated sources. A package is missing. Which will probably be in factory soon. Then this will be built again and the version will also be on Factory.

I have Calibre 8.7.0-1.1from the openSUSE repo installed. Is that not "normal sources"? Having that installed has lead to conflicts when trying to update Tumbleweed with "zypper dup" for approx one week now. I don't want to install from flatpack or https://calibre-ebook.com/download_linux directly as long as my distribution provides the package. I'm on a rolling release specifically to avoid outdated programs while still using mostly native packages from my distribution, and I'm going to wait until the problem is resolved, but wanted to document here that there's a problem. fwiw, I've got zero flatpacks installed.
