[Solicitous]

*bump*

Thought I would continue this thread rather than start a new one.

I've been running Calibre 0.8.33 all fine and dandy on Ubuntu 10.10. Recently I felt the urge to upgrade Calibre, but am getting the same error as the OP.

I also tried to install on my myth box (10.04 also) just in the off-chance I have issues with my laptop. Both machines have python 2.6, however I did install python 2.7 on my laptop and change the install command to;

sudo python2.7 -c "import sys; py3 = sys.version_info[0] > 2; u = __import__('urllib.request' if py3 else 'urllib', fromlist=1); exec(u.urlopen('http://status.calibre-ebook.com/linux_installer').read()); main()"

But neither to any avail. Any tips/hints??

Edit: Ok I installed 0.8.60 manually, and it loaded. Any reason on a stock 10.10 Ubuntu I shouldn't use this version of Calibre?
