calibre-parallel crashed with EOFError in main()

[Ivar Snaaijer]

Binary package hint: calibre

odd, it seems to happen more often now i have a consistent system (had a 3.6.31 kernel previously with 10.10)

[Ivar Snaaijer (ivar-snaaijer)]

the trace is clear; I need a subscription...

  File "/usr/lib/calibre/calibre/web/feeds/news.py", line 609, in __init__
    raise ValueError(_('The "%s" recipe needs a username and password.')%self.title)
ValueError: Het "New Scientist - Online News w. subscription" recept heeft een gebruikernaam en wachtwoord nodig

This is true, but the handling can be a bit nicer, there is a possibility that I only notice the crash because I have apport.

I get an error message with the crash, which provides the same info as the trace :

ERROR: Converteer Fout: <b>Mislukt</b>: Download nieuws van New Scientist - Online News
