Comment 4 Herman Viaene 2021-12-28 11:27:35 CET

MGA8-64 Plasma on Lenovo B50 in Dutch.
No installation issues.
Ref bug 28983 for testing.
Used at CLI
$ strace -o lxmltxt calibre
Imported one of my own html files in calibre an converted  to e-book for table format. I could read the resulting epub with the calibre E-book viewer and with okular.
Trace shows multiple refs to /usr/lib64/python3.8/site-packages/lxml/ files.
OK for me.
