So I took these steps to do clean install yesterday:

Code:

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


ilvez@merkuur ~ % ls -l `which calibre`
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Jul 19 09:23 /usr/bin/calibre -> /opt/calibre/calibre

Then I just ran calibre.

To be extra sure, I then ran:

Code:

sudo /usr/bin/calibre-uninstall
sudo rm -rf /opt/calibre
sudo -v && wget -nv -O- https://download.calibre-ebook.com/linux-installer.sh | sudo sh /dev/stdin

Then I ran calibre again (version 4.21) and reproduced it.

If you have any ideas what do debug here, I'm willing to do any extra step. I can recompile kernel or try some older Linux. I'm just don't know how to provide more useful information at this point.

I have been years Calibre user and really appriciate your job done on the software. This error is currently major headache for me to use the software. Do throw you bone here, I'm actually thinking of becoming patreon as well, since I really am grateful for Calibre. But I understand if this kind of errors are just party-poopers and stopping you for doing some fun development work.
