As I explained you in
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...01&postcount=2 the official releases you're trying to install are
NOT AVAILABLE for arm.
So, even if you setup a root password, the installer will fail (or install binaries that won't run on your device if there's no checks in place, which I doubt).
If you still want to try that for yourself you can setup a root password with:
You need to use other means to achieve what you want. AFAIK flatpak provides up to date versions of calibre, but I'm not sure if they have their apps available for aarch64. You can try yourself following these instructions:
https://flatpak.org/setup/Debian/ and then installing their calibre repo (you can check it is up-to-date in
https://flathub.org/apps/details/com..._ebook.calibre)
Edit: Nope. Flathub repackages official binaries, doesn't build from source. So there's no arm binaries available. Source:
