[solved] Calibre stopped working - Illegal instruction (core dumped)

If worked few days ago, but now it won't start.:

$ calibre
Illegal instruction (core dumped)

I do daily updates, and there was calibre update yesterday, but I do not know if it was broken before that. All I know it worked fine 4-5 days ago.
I tried downgrading calibre to previous version, but it changed nothing.

I updated Calibre too, and it is working as expected (I also do daily updates). I'm running an x86_64 machine.

$ pacman -Q | grep calibre
calibre 1.9.0-1

Thanks @arojas
I was going to downgrade calibre, but then I saw this.
After downgrading 6.8.7.4-1 => 6.8.7.2-1 calibre is fine again.

The bug report has the best solution. imagemagick needs a simple rebuild. Downgrading anything is unnecessary.
