I found this in my .xsession-errors from calibre. It wants to import pyPdf and fails because it is not installed. emerging pyPdf 1.13 make the import error go away. Calibre works fine otherwise so not sure what it is really used for but let's make calibre happy anyway :-).

calibre_plugins.prst1_notes.PRST1NotesMerge is actually a user plugin which a user can be installed from within calibre. Not sure how you want to handle this..?
There's no need for everyone to install it. I don't even have it installed myself. I suppose we could add a USE flag to pull it in, but the list of possible dependencies pulled in by plugins is really endless, so I'd prefer not to.
I did a bit of searching on the forums and it seem that pyPdf module was removed from calibre tree which of course now makes this plugin fail. http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showpost.php?p=2238957&postcount=25 Maybe it is an idee to add an elog/einfo making people aware of this?
Well, the traceback clearly shows which plugin is at fault, so that should be enough info for users to find the relevant forum thread: http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=173321 It's considered "spam" so show an elog message like this to all users.
