Can you tell me, perhaps I'm using too old a version? Or Linux is different? Or, well, I'm not sure what else.

Install Calibre from the Calibre web page.
http://calibre-ebook.com/download_linux
Just copy and paste something that looks like this
sudo python -c "import urllib2; exec urllib2.urlopen('http://status.calibre-ebook.com/linux_installer').read(); main()"
to a terminal window. But always use command line from the original site, not this one, to make sure you have the newest and greatest version. Kovid, with the help of many volunteers add interesting features very often, so it is advisable to use the newest version.
But you can also add another file regardless of the settings in Advanced Preferences.
You add one book, called
Jack London - The Call of the wild.pdf
Calibre recognizes author an book. But, you also have another file, called
Call_jlondon.epub
and Call_cover.jpg
and you want to add this.
So. Position yourself on the book in Calibre library.
Click Edit metadata or press 'E' shortcut
On the top right of the dialog panel you see smal window with all formats of the book. Click on the Add button on the right side. Now navigate to the epub file. If you have more files, you can select them with Crtl pressed, you can select range of files using Shift and click.
Now clock on Browse for Cover on the bottom right portion of the dialog panel and navigate to the jpg file with cover.
Another way of accomplishing the same thing.
Just drag and drop the new file. It gets added as a new book. Select the old book, with the proper metadata, now press Ctrl and select the new one. Press 'M' for Merge, or select Merge books from main menu or context menu. Now you have two files saved as one book.
