Unable to install calibre 0.8.52 on Ubuntu 12.04!!

[calibrenewbie]

I am trying to install Calibre 0.8.52 on Ubuntu 12.04 using the command:

sudo python -c "import sys; py3 = sys.version_info[0] > 2; u = __import__('urllib.request' if py3 else 'urllib', fromlist=1); exec(u.urlopen('http://status.calibre-ebook.com/linux_installer').read()); main()"

But I am getting the following error, Could you help me out? The internet connection is fine and I am able to access the internet.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urllib.py", line 86, in urlopen

*bump*

Thought I would continue this thread rather than start a new one.

I've been running Calibre 0.8.33 all fine and dandy on Ubuntu 10.10. Recently I felt the urge to upgrade Calibre, but am getting the same error as the OP.

I also tried to install on my myth box (10.04 also) just in the off-chance I have issues with my laptop. Both machines have python 2.6, however I did install python 2.7 on my laptop and change the install command to;

sudo python2.7 -c "import sys; py3 = sys.version_info[0] > 2; u = __import__('urllib.request' if py3 else 'urllib', fromlist=1); exec(u.urlopen('http://status.calibre-ebook.com/linux_installer').read()); main()"

But neither to any avail. Any tips/hints??

Edit: Ok I installed 0.8.60 manually, and it loaded. Any reason on a stock 10.10 Ubuntu I shouldn't use this version of Calibre?

Well just an update for those who might come across this issue in the future, I found what was causing the problem. In between me running the older version of Calibre and now wanting to upgrade I had changed the nameserver on my local laptop and media centre from the ISP DNS server to the router. So obviously something with the DNS settings on the router caused a resolution issue.

Problem now solved. Might be of help to the next person.
