Hi Kovid,
Thanks for the quick reply. I downloaded and installed the `official' binary as you suggested. Udev and dbus are installed and afaik they're working OK. From the requirements listed at the download page: my glibc version is 2.13-27, python is at 2.7.2-10, and xdg-utils has also been installed.
Unfortunately, the behavior of calibre 0.8.44 is not different from the one offered by Debian, so it looks as though I'm still at square 1.
I appreciate your support; if you have any other suggestions (or maybe require additional information?) please let me know.
Cheers,
Frank.
