I'm not sure I have the answer but may be closer to figureing out a
solution. I built calibre-0.8.18-2 and everything worked fine. Last
night Imagemagick updated from [ libMagickWand.so.4 (libc6,x86-64) =>
/usr/lib/libMagickWand.so.4 ] to [ libMagickWand.so.5 (libc6,x86-64)
=> /usr/lib/libMagickWand.so.5 ] and calibre refuses to run again with
the error message "Runtime Error: Failed to load Imagemagick:
libMagickWand.so.4: cannot find shared object file: No such file or
directory".

I had already changed my bash alias for pacman -Uf to pacman -U before
I built and installed calibre-0.8.18-2. I just went back and
reinstalled calibre with the same results. It seems that calibre needs
to be rebuilt with each update of it's shared libraries since it
searchs for libxxxxx.so.[0-9] instead of libxxx.so. I just rebuilt
calibre with with libMagickWand.so.5 installed and it runs fine.

Is the a direct result of me building the package on my machine or is
it a result of something misconfigured in my build setup? If not, is
it in the internal build process of calibre? I'm missing something
here.

Thanks Myra
