Or should it be upgraded from a more recent version? Or is that directory/format very stable and there are rarely changes? Thanks!
It is trivial to upgrade a Kovid-provided calibre version to another. I am not sure that is the case when switching from a distro package to the Kovid-provided version. Are the paths the same? Does uninstalling the distro package remove the configuration directory? Where *is* the configuration directory when using a distro package? Where is the library when using a distro package? Did the distro package change anything significant? And so on.
