Possibly bug with export to epub

[Bernd Nitzschmann]

Hello Josè, 

Yes, I understand it that way too. 

In the error message, a) the variable is not resolved and b) the error message does not relate to what the converter's actual problem is. So it's probably only about the error message not reflecting the converter error output.

To check again, I restarted the PDF generation with Ctrl+R. The book then opens in the PDF reader, and there is no further message displayed. I took a look at the log file and didn't find anything dramatic at first glance. I have attached the file here. 

Best regards,

This confused me a lot but now after navigating around the code I have
a clear picture. The $$s shown above is harmless, it is a bug in the
displayed message.
Internally, when calling the converter, that place holder is replaced,
but it is not when displaying this error.

So that part is a bug but an harmless one, in this context.

As I have told you in the other messages python is also correctly
called.


So now the issue is why is the converter, that is correctly called,
failing?

@Thibaut could this be related with the same issue that you committed
today?
