If you want Calibre to just work, forget about any opensuse branded

I do wish people would stop spreading FUD like this. If you have incompatible
libraries installed, things will fail, and it doesn't really matter where you
get it from. There is nothing "opensuse branded" about a package built in the
opensuse build service.

And what incompatible libraries do I have installed?

I simply installed calibre from the oss repo, and it chose what
dependencies to install. All the python deps it wanted came from the oss
repo, except "podofo" that came from kde stable repo.

If you find an opensuse package that doesn't work, file a bug report. Don't
just FUD like that

I might, but as I already have the upstream version of calibre running, to
what end should I report? I can no longer test if the openSUSE version of
calibre for 11.4 works.


Notice that calibre author says:

···
Please do not use your distribution provided calibre package, as those are
often buggy/outdated. Instead use the Binary install described below.
···

If the author says that, what choice do I have?
