But you went ahead and wanted modern versions of calibre, so you installed software from outside the LTS time freeze. And LTS bit you.

...

In case you didn't guess, I run Arch Linux, a rolling-release, bleeding-edge distro.
Ok, now i understand my error.
I interpreted LTS as a kind of backport guarantee and will think about my update strategy.

But to tell truth:
Calibre is the only program that i am updating manually.

Offtopic:
I am no programmer and just average joe who is happy to have an absolutely reliable OS, in this case the 12.04 LTS.
There was no offense intended in asking about the calibre-install-error message.
