Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
Started using Raspberry Pi 4 to replace HP amd64 microserver. Calibre library
stored on server Samba share. Calibre claims unrepairable database.
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
Copied original HP server library to desktop PC, Calibre OK. Stopped Calibre,
copied this exact library back to Pi share, database corrupt.

Calibre running on sid on HP amd64 computer.
