Calibre doesnt open- corrupted database error

[Efe Gürkan YALAMAN]

I am using LinuxMint 12 KDE. I installed and opened calibre after i choose the dirs for library gives me an error.

Details section:
calibre, version 0.8.8
Corrupted database: Your calibre database appears to be corrupted. Do you want calibre to try and repair it automatically? If you say No, a new empty calibre library will be created.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/calibre/calibre/gui2/main.py", line 215, in initialize_db
    db = LibraryDatabase2(self.library_path)

    self.connect()

    self.conn = connect(self.dbpath, self.row_factory)

I said Yes to it. Gives me an error message like repairing failed. Starting with a new library.

And that one is the last messagebox

workaround: start program with "LANG=en_US.UTF-8 calibre" command.

When system Language is English calibre works perfectly. Problem happens when system Language is Turkish.
