[Bug 489655] [NEW] ebook-convert command-line arguments ignored

[Reuben Thomas]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: calibre

If I run a command such as

ebook-convert foo.txt foo.fb2 --single-line-paras --title "Foo"
--authors "Bar" --language English

then most of the arguments seem to be ignored: I get warnings that I
have not specified the language or title (though the author is correctly
recognised) and these are not as far as I can see put into the output
file.

According to the instructions at

http://calibre-ebook.com/user_manual/cli/ebook-convert-14.html#txt-
input-to-fb2-output

these flags should be valid. Using just one of the ignored flags (and
omitting all the rest) doesn't seem to help.

I notice that calibre has been updated quite a bit since the version in
Karmic, so perhaps the place to start is with an update?
