Apologies if i'm being very dim here, but what am I expecting to see with this plugin?

I installed the 'calibre-plugin-dedrm 10.0.3-1' package using pacseek, but after restarting calibre, the dedrm plugin is not visible in the plugin list, either as an installed plugin or as a "not yet installed" plugin.

The installation info on the plugin GitHub page only talk about loading the plugin from a downloaded zip file, which I assume is the Windows (and Mac?) procedure. I can't find any specific info on how this Arch-specific plugin is installed so that Calibre recognises it.

rait: calibre-bin should provide "calibre".

Would it be possible to make it compatible with the latest calibre-bin package from the AUR?

:: calibre-8.3.0-1 and calibre-bin-8.3.0-1 are in conflict. Remove calibre-bin? [y/N] n
error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)

I'm not entirely sure if it's a problem with how calibre-bin names the package during installation, or if it's something that needs to be adjusted on this side. I'm still new to this.

Thank you for your work as a maintainer!

Please note: 10.0.9 is only a release candidate while this package tracks the stable version.

after reading some more I'm not sure if I actually need that LCP support. I'm trying to decrypt an "ENCRYPTED ADOBE PDF" from archive.org. I found "/usr/share/calibre/system-plugins/DeDRM.zip:DeDRM_Adobe Digital Editions Key_Help.htm" that sounds like I might need to install "Adobe Digital Editions" with wine and config the used wineprefix in calibre somewhere.

Does anybody know of a simple step by step guide how to set this all up?

Sorry if this might be a stupid / trivial question, but how can I modify the build script to use this repository instead: https://notabug.org/uhuxybim/DeDRM_tools-LCP So that I can use the LCP support readded there?

Hello, I hit the same issue as a previous user, I was unable to remove DRM from my kindle books until I installed python-pycryptodome. I could only work this out via enabling debug logging in calibre, which gives the following output (truncated):

Convert book 1 of 1 (...)
    DeDRM v10.0.2: Trying to decrypt ...

        from Crypto.Cipher import AES
    ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'Crypto'

I understand it's an optional dependency, but there's nothing to tell the user what's wrong (they should install the missing package), so it seems less optional than it should be.
