I did that but when I open Calibre again it still says down the bottom that there is a new version available with a link to the site and the current version in the corner etc. |

Did the installer ask for (and you entered) the valid sudo password? When you installed the 'binary install' the first time AND this time, did you specify the default location: /opt (simply press enter will do) or did you place it elsewhere? |

Yeah I did and it even still has a really old version in there too. Yeah I entered the password. With the location:/opt I just pressed enter. Maybe I missed something somewhere? I mean it's pretty straight fwd lol.

It could be that there are some permission problems in /opt/calibre. I suggest that you remove the entire /opt/calibre tree (rm -fr /opt/calibre), then reinstall from binary. Your library will be safe unless for some reason you put it inside calibre's install directory.
You might also try a 'which calibre' to see where your system thinks the calibre executable lives. If that file is not in /opt/calibre, then check it to be sure it is a symlink into /opt/calibre. |

Since /opt is involved, I think that command will need to super-user (sudo) privileges. Code:
sudo rm -fr /opt/calibre |
