[SOLVED] Calibre doesn't work and Foliate fail to open certain fb2 files

Hello there.
After recent updates (within the last two weeks or so) at first Calibre stopped working so I used Foliate instead, but for about a week or so I also have problems with Foliate: it won't open some fb2 books (but at the same time , some fb2 books it still manages to open).

vesrions of apps:
calibre 6.15.1-2
foliate 2.6.4-2

Code: [Select]
$ calibre
Failed to import PyQt module: PyQt6.QtNetwork with error: /usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/PyQt6/QtNetwork.abi3.so: undefined symbol: _ZN16QNetworkDatagram7destroyEP23QNetworkDatagramPrivate, version Qt_6

What can be done to fix all of these?

The Calibre issues is because various pyqt6 packages were rebuilt against the new qt6 in staging but not in the world repos. I just corrected that so it should work again on the next update. I do not know about foliate however.

Packages (4) pyside2-5.15.9-4  python-pyqt6-6.5.0-1  python-pyqt6-webengine-6.5.0-1  python-shiboken2-5.15.9-4
After this Calibre works again, thank you!
As for Foliate, we'll see, for now Calibre is enough.
