Spoiler:

calibre was installed using the command line:

sudo -v && wget -nv -O- https://download.calibre-ebook.com/linux-installer.sh | sudo sh /dev/stdin

The following errors are thrown:

I'm not sure where to go from here. Can someone advise? Thanks.
Try running calibre in debug mode:
open a terminal and enter

Code:
calibre-debug -g
If it works will get some similar to this:
