Wrong links in the converted azw3 file

[Seweryn Kokot]

I'm converting a epub (or html) file to asw3 for Kindle PW using Calibre v. 4.99.4.
The problem is that when looking at the formats in edit book window from epub I have:

Code:
...
            <a href="test_1_split_001.html#a">Chapter 1</a><br class="calibre2"/>
            <a href="test_1_split_001.html#b">Chapter 2</a><br class="calibre2"/>
            <a href="test_1_split_001.html#c">Chapter 3</a><br class="calibre2"/>
            <a href="test_1_split_001.html#d">Chapter 4</a><br class="calibre2"/>
            <a href="test_1_split_001.html#e">Chapter 5</a></p>
...

while in the converted asw3 I get broken internal links. Looking at the debugging processed text parts, the links are correct, whereas in the final aws3 file, the links get corrupted. Any idea where is the issue?

- fragment from azw3 file in edit book window:
Code:

...
       <p class="small_font">
            <a href="part0000.html#1-9078b954d3aa4c44a865caf8b84b44a7">Chapter 1</a><br class="calibre2"/>
            <a href="part0000.html#1-9078b954d3aa4c44a865caf8b84b44a7">Chapter 2</a><br class="calibre2"/>
            <a href="part0000.html#1-9078b954d3aa4c44a865caf8b84b44a7">Chapter 3</a><br class="calibre2"/>
            <a href="part0000.html#1-9078b954d3aa4c44a865caf8b84b44a7">Chapter 4</a><br class="calibre2"/>
            <a href="part0000.html#1-9078b954d3aa4c44a865caf8b84b44a7">Chapter 5</a></p>

The HTML ids in the file are missing quotes, but that does not appear to be a factor.

The links convert properly in calibre 4.10.1 under Windows, but they are wrong when calibre portable 4.99.4 beta is used. Possibly Python 3 related?

Fixed in branch master. The fix will be in the next release. calibre is usually released every alternate Friday.
