I hit the same problem when I tried it on 18.2. I don't think it's that there's no dbus session bus running, I think it's a version issue. The error mentions LIBDBUS_PRIVATE_1.10.6 - a strings on /opt/calibre/lib/libdbus-1.so.3 shows
LIBDBUS_PRIVATE_1.10.8. When I copied the system version of libdbus-1.so.3 I found it worked. I was going to mention this but I wasn't really sure that this was a safe or advisable work-around.
