That was something that was confusing to me - perhaps I got it all wrong?

I am using "..."isolated" install that only touches files inside the installation directory and does not need to be run as root, like this..."
Code:
wget -nv -O- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kovidgoyal/calibre/master/setup/linux-installer.py | python -c "import sys; main=lambda x,y:sys.stderr.write('Download failed\n'); exec(sys.stdin.read()); main('~/calibre-bin', True)"
and it kept crashing when I used it on machine with light Linux distro (which didn't have Qt5).
Problem only got solved when I went back to 1.48
