I've been running a headless calibre-server on a CentOS 6.5 virtual machine for several months. This evening I started seeing some problems with covers not showing up for some new books that I had added to the library (synced from a desktop instance via owncloud). Clicking on details for the new books brought up an error message. Not wanting to deal with troubleshooting that at the moment, I decided to try installing the latest version of calibre, since the server was running a fairly old version. I copied the linux binary install script from the download page, and keep getting the following error when trying to install:

Extracting files to /opt/calibre ...
Extracting application files...
tar (grandchild): xz: Cannot exec: No such file or directory
tar (grandchild): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child died with signal 13
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
File "<string>", line 648, in main
File "<string>", line 628, in download_and_extract
File "<string>", line 602, in extract_tarball
IOError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe

Any tips on what's going on? Bad install file? Bad python script?
