I am having problems with calibre in linux mint. I had the version listed in mint synaptic installed 0.6.42 and upgraded to 0.8.0 I then had two icons in my menu list. I tried to uninstall the old version and got an error "E: calibre: unable to securely remove '/usr/lib/calibre/calibre/manual/epub.py'" now my synaptic will not install any updates and fails with that same error every time.
Can anyone help me with this problem?
If I wanted to how would I completely remove calibre and start over?

Thanks
Jon
