UI not loading after updating to Ubuntu 24.04

After updating to Ubuntu 24.04 I can no longer see the FFF UI.
I get this in the debug log:
calibre_plugins.fictiondb.__init__:60: SyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence '\.'
ApplicationPaletteChange event ignored

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Seeing the issue was related to requests_toolbelt I updated my version using sudo apt install python3-requests-toolbelt which set it to version 1.0.0-2.
It still doesn't show the UI but now gives me this in the debug log:

The second debug log shows the plugin loaded successfully. I would try adding to the UI again, although Calibre doesn't usually remove plugins that fail to load.
As a general rule, I only support FFF on the official calibre releases for exactly this sort of reason--random dependencies being a problem. The vendor versions are typically out of date, too--current is Calibre 7.12.
So officially, my answer is to install the official calibre releases. Come back if it still fails on the official version.
I ran into the same problem on Debian Sid earlier today.
The cause was that the python3-urllib3 package in sid had recently been upgraded to version 2.0.7 (python3-urllib3_2.0.7-2_all.deb).
I downgraded the package to version 1.26 (python3-urllib3_1.26.18-2_all.deb) and, after restarting calibre, FFF started working again. I didn't try installing the python3-requests-toolbelt package.
I guess at some point, FFF will be made compatible with the newer urllib3. Until then, I've run apt-mark hold python3-urllib3 so it won't be auto-upgraded - this may eventually cause other problems with python apps on my system, but I'll deal with that if and when it happens.
No need to re-open the issue, I just posted this in the hope that the info is useful for anyone else who encounters this problem.
