Yea, noticed that. I had done a normal package install from the default distribution source. I didn't think too much of it, as an experienced member had posted, re a different issue:
Installing the official binaries vs. the repository version will not interfere with your configuration!
In any case, I just went through the binary install from the Calibre site (V 2.45) using Kovid's script. It installed just fine, but the error is still similar on the same file! Here is the errors with 2.45:
