Well, yes

Code:
sudo python -c "import urllib2; exec urllib2.urlopen('http://calibre.kovidgoyal.net/download_linux_binary_installer').read(); main()"
is command line , but

Code:
sudo easy_install -U calibre 
sudo calibre_postinstall
after checking for new dependencies is very convenient. I keep it in a /usr/local/bin/ script for easy upgrades. Anyway, this sqlite locked database is a real bore. Apparently, sqlite uses fcntl() to lock databases and nfs has problems with this. The database remains locked no matter what I do. I have been able to copy it so another location and access it, so my data is safe, but when calibre attempts to access it from it's original location on the nfs drive it's no go.
