The general error is : Error communicating with device
calibre, version 4.19.0
WARNING: Failed: Kobo database version unsupported - See details

Your Kobo is running an updated firmware/database version. As calibre does not know about this updated firmware, database editing is disabled, to prevent corruption. You can still send books to your Kobo with calibre, but deleting books and managing collections is disabled. If you are willing to experiment and know how to reset your Kobo to Factory defaults, you can override this check by right clicking the device icon in calibre and selecting "Configure this device" and then the "Attempt to support newer firmware" option. Doing so may require you to perform a factory reset of your Kobo.
Device database version: 160.
Device firmware version: (4, 22, 15190)

Doing as suggested seems to work for sending files to aura hd, but will calibre be updated for this new firmware/database ?
Have you read and followed the instructions in the message? It is all there. And if you have any questions about this after a firmware, you should look in the Kobo forum. There will always be a thread discussing the latest firmware version. It will include a statement about the calibre support.
