Hi,
I just bought a new Lenove desktop computer and installed Linux Mint 20. I then installed Calibre and the install seemed to terminate correctly. The installation output:
rozen@atlas: ~ > sudo -v && wget -nv -O-

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling with the same result.
Calibre has been an integral part of my computing existence for years and I am anxious to continue using it. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
