I made un update yesterday. Main change was from kde 4.5 to 4.6.
Caliber stopped working. If I launch it from konsole, I have:

wrbbt:~> calibre

  File "/usr/bin/calibre", line 19, in <module>

RuntimeError: Failed to load the Progress Indicator plugin: the sip module implements API v8.0 to v8.1 but the progress_indicator module requires API v7.1

Any idea about how to resolve this?

mine still works; but i installed it from the calibre website, using their
python installer. i used to have it installed from oS repos, but at one
point i got the same error you got now. not finding an easy solution, i
started using the outside installer, which doesn’t have an uninstall
option :frowning:

i think the incompatibility with openSUSE’s version of that progress
indicator got resolved at one point; apparently it’s turned up again.

log a bug: http://en.opensuse.org/Submitting_Bug_Reports
of course, check to see if it is already logged…if so, then add any
usable info you have…

when a bug number is known, then return here and post it (so followers
with the problem can also add to it and monitor progress) after a
period of time in which you hope a developer contacts you and ask you
to test a patch, you may want to back level to KDE4.5, or do without
caliber…

oh, and you might consider contacting the caliber folks and see if
maybe they have a fix in the works, http://calibre-ebook.com/about#contact

no, the thanks go to you because by documenting the bug it get
squashed and the system gets better…thank YOU for your contribution
to open source software!!!

So, you see, it’s a pleasure to be part of a community like this, always very kind and very helpful. And besides, I love open source software!
I’ve learnt a lot in this forum.

Acording to this bug report the problem has no solution in opensuse 11.3.
calibre works normally just in 11.4.

phani’s solution (see post #2](http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/applications/454104-caliber.html#post2289709) in this thread) works perfectly.

Waiting for opensuse 11.4 final release…
