Bug Description
Binary package hint: calibre
If I run a command such as
ebook-convert foo.txt foo.fb2 --single-line-paras --title "Foo" --authors "Bar" --language English
then most of the arguments seem to be ignored: I get warnings that I have not specified the language or title (though the author is correctly recognised) and these are not as far as I can see put into the output file.
According to the instructions at
http://
these flags should be valid. Using just one of the ignored flags (and omitting all the rest) doesn't seem to help.
I notice that calibre has been updated quite a bit since the version in Karmic, so perhaps the place to start is with an update?

Sorry, it seems that the major part of the problem I reported was actually a caching bug in my book reader, NOT a problem with ebook-convert at all: in particular, I think that in fact all the command-line flags ARE being respected.
However, it's still odd that the warnings are being given about missing flags that are both present AND being processed!
