I am trying to update my calibredb and calibre-server on a Ubuntu 17.04 headless server with no GUI. The currently installed (by apt-get) version:

Code:

sudo apt-show-versions calibre
calibre:all/zesty 2.75.1+dfsg-1build1~1 uptodate

My problem is an inability to access the /opds xml file. And, thinking the 3.13.0 version might be a solution.

When attempting a binary install of the complete calibre 3.13.0 package, it results in an error from no GUI desktop installed:

Code:

Setting up desktop integration...
xdg-desktop-menu: No writable system menu directory found.

	CalledProcessError: Command 'xdg-desktop-menu install --noupdate ./calibre-gui.desktop' returned non-zero exit status 3

Launching calibre:

Code:

Aborted (core dumped)

Checking installed version:

Code:

sudo apt-show-versions calibre
calibre:all/zesty 2.75.1+dfsg-1build1~1 uptodate

Is there a way to just install more-recent 3.10.0 versions of calibredb and calibre-server and not attempt a complete calibre install?

And, any suggestions about my fundamental problem of access to the /opds xml file would be appreciated.
