Hi, all.
And @ Kovid: Hope your vacation was wonderful!
I've encountered the same error message twice --a few weeks ago when trying to update from Calibre 2.46 to 2.47 --and today, trying to update 2.46 to 2.48.
I run the DL/install command --cut & paste from the calibre website. The download completes, and as the installation starts to run, it terminates with these messages:

File "/usr/lib/python2.7/shutil.py", line 230, in rmtree
raise OSError("Cannot call rmtree on a symbolic link")
OSError: Cannot call rmtree on a symbolic link

. . . and the process terminates.
I've been running Calibre on this desktop machine under a few different Linux distros over the last four years with no trouble. I've had Debian 8 ("Jessie") installed & calibre has been happy since June 2015. Does anyone have advice on how to work around this problem?
