Searching in Calibre 2.44.1 Viewer is failing

Just upgraded my system and got: calibre-2.44.1-1
Unfortunately, when I search for text in (apparently) any ebook, using Calibre Viewer, I now get a failure:

calibre, version 2.44.1
ERROR: Unhandled exception: <b>TypeError</b>:__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'track_positions'
calibre 2.44.1  isfrozen: False is64bit: True

    return parse_html5(raw, log=log, line_numbers=line_numbers, linenumber_attribute=linenumber_attribute, replace_entities=False, fix_newlines=False)

    parser = HTMLParser(tree=builder, track_positions=line_numbers, namespaceHTMLElements=not discard_namespaces)
TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'track_positions'

Downgrading to calibre-2.43.0-1-x86_64.pkg works okay.
Anyone else experiencing this problem?

Edit: Both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of 2.44 fail, not necessarily on the first search

Re: Searching in Calibre 2.44.1 Viewer is failing

Seems to be a difference between html5lib as provided by calibre and html5lib as provided by the python2-html5lib package in arch.
If you rebuild calibre locally with line 39 of PKGBUILD removed does that fix it?

Yes, unfortunately Calibre isn't really using html5lib, they're using their own private fork of it without renaming.

@loqs and @Scimmia: Many thanks for your replies - they are very helpful.

Yes indeed, rebuilding like that seems to work. Though have only tested briefly, it's looking good.
