Since you say you're plumber, lets use a plumbing analogy. Suppose you have a customer who complains that the pipe under his sink is leaking. He further tells you that it is a PVC pipe manufactured by the Acme corporation. And he says that he has tried these pipes in three different houses and they always leak, and no other pipes in his houses leak, therefore pipes made by the Acme corporation must be bad. When you go to his houses you find he has a toddler that likes to dig holes into that particular pipe.

You have some software common to all your linux systems that is messing with the ICE file. You have to figure out what it is. And if you're wondering why I am so certain this has nothing to do with calibre, simply download the calibre source code for yourself and run the following on it

grep -r ICEauthority *

which will tell you that nowhere in the calibre source code is there a single reference to ICEauthority. So calibre cannot be directly manipulating ICEauthority in any way.
