Subject: [PATCH 4/4] gnu: calibre: Add wrap phase for qtwebengine.
Date: Sun, 16 Aug 2020 17:03:18 +1000

* gnu/packages/ebook.scm (calibre): [arguments]: Copy the wrap phase
from Anki to wrap QTWEBENGINEPROCESS_PATH. This fixes the 'Could not
find QtWebEngineProcess error' when opening a book with the
ebook-viewer.
