Try reinstalling?

Also, you can do the update automatically, try this script:

#!/bin/bash

calibre-debug -c "import urllib as u; from calibre.constants import numeric_version; raise SystemExit(int(numeric_version  < (tuple(map(int, u.urlopen('http://calibre-ebook.com/downloads/latest_version').read().split('.'))))))"

UP_TO_DATE=$?

if [ $UP_TO_DATE = 0 ]; then
        echo "Calibre is up-to-date"
else
        killall calibre
        killall calibre
        sudo python -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(install_dir='/opt')"
fi

Then put that in your crontab. Run weekly at 5:00 AM Friday (or whenever).
