like i said, you need to rename the ebuild to calibre-0.4.69

Umm you are saying I should sit around re-implementing all the functionality in external libraries, just to have a "streamlined" install process. If I followed that philosophy calibre would never have been written. And its only on linux that there a dependency problems, because I use cutting edge versions in calibre and distro maintainers are forever playing catch up. packaging systems really only work well for mature software.

You can try the binary linuxversion of calibre (its the all distros" item in the linux download page.
