I am currently running calibre 0.8.70 on Xubuntu that I installed from the Ubuntu repository (ppa.launchpad.net/n-muench/calibre). calibre currently resides at /usr/lib/calibre. I would like to upgrade to the newest version using the binary installer.

Can I simply upgrade overtop the old repository version, specifying the install location /usr/lib/calibre of course, or do I have to install a fresh copy?

Are there any other issues I should be aware of before I do the upgrade?
