calibre fails to output pdf (e.g. converting epub to pdf), to reproduce it one just need to convert something to pdf.
I don't have time to further debug this but it seems threads related and it ends with a segfault.

I've noticed this a good few weeks ago, this doesn't seem affecting just a particular calibre version.

I now running with calibre 2.73.0-2 and qt5-base 5.7.0-7.

Seems related to a qt5-base issue https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/51285?project=1&cat%5B0%5D=2&string=qt5-base

The problem is fixed with qt5-base from the qt-debug-pkgbuild repo which includes the following patch https://github.com/qutebrowser/qt-debug-pkgbuild/blob/master/qt5-base/qtbug-52988-all.patch
This task depends upon

I'm guessing you're on Gnome/Wayland?
