I pulled them out of my archives. You need to install the all.deb & the one for your arch (amd64 or i386) they're all in the zip file.

Calibre had some minor commits to the chm import file shortly before the new release as part of fixing a bunch of syntax that's deprecated in newer Python versions and improving unicode compatibility. I suspect that's the cause of the regression. Nobody has reported it yet as far as I can tell.

Re: Calibre broken
How did you get Calibre 3.X to show a dark interface, anyway? It's always ignored my dark GTK themes, and defiantly stays way too light.
Edit: I should have searched first, you can set the environment variable
to get it to use your theme, though if you want "night mode" in the reader itself, you'll need to do some more work: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1053497 ... in-calibre
I think I can add that environment code to /etc/rc.local to have it apply systemwide...

Re: Calibre broken
The Packaging team rebuilds new versions to be compatible with Stretch, if it is at all possible.
They are pretty accomplished at doing this.

Re: Calibre broken
Calibre has been pretty good with their new releases, and we don't get enough reports on the test versions to ever move them out of testing. This bug just got through.
3.43.0 hadn't made it into Experimental when I did it for MX, so I refreshed the patches and pulled down the new source with the get-orig-source target in debian/rules manually. I bet the Experimental version has the same bug, so it should be reported to Debian. There are many new packages going into Experimental now, instead of Sid, until Buster is released.
Calibre also seems pretty heavy just to read .chm files--Okular and coolreader3 can also display them.
