Public bug reported:
if I start calibre, this is what I get.
orri@asuka:~$ calibre
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/calibre", line 20, in <module>

TypeError: can only concatenate list (not "function") to list
orri@asuka:~$ calibre --version
calibre (calibre 1.0)
orri@asuka:~$
I am using ubuntu 13.10
I've tried uninstalling and installing (using apt-get) and I've tried deleting
~/Calibre Library
I found a fix:
in the function "fc_list" in /usr/lib/calibre/calibre/utils/fonts/scanner.py
approximately line 74 (I've edited my local version)
the line containing:
"return default_font_dirs "
can be changed to:
" return default_font_dirs()"
Then the function "default_font_dirs" is called and its return value is
returned (by fc_list)
previously it (fc_list) would return a pointer to the function, which can not
be concatinated with a list of strings.
Best regards,
Orri Tomasson
