The community is not so much hostile to distro packaging as the community is getting tired of people who try to use distro installs which are sloppily built and try to save space by not including all of calibre dependencies. The common advice is to install the official version from calibre's download page which oddly enough seems to fix the issues 99% of the time.
Also note that Linux makes up 4.6% of the installed calibre base (Windows is 80.4% and MacOS 15%) and yet Linux users contribute about ~30% (a quick count) of install issues and most of those complaints are from distro installs.
