[SOLVED]Calibre crashed when it starts

Question

Hi,
After a fresh installation and configuration of calibre, I start it. Then it crashes.
$ calibre
QWidget::repaint: Recursive repaint detected
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/calibre/calibre/gui2/library/delegates.py", line 121, in displayText
return format_date(qt_to_dt(d, as_utc=False), self.format)

return list(cls(s))
TypeError: iter() returned non-iterator of type '_timelex'
Anyone who got this same issue? Any idea about this? Thanks
