Dear all,

I tried to install calibre version 4.23.0 in Linux (before I had a newer one where the DeDRM does not work) as recommended via:

sudo -v && sudo calibre-uninstall && wget -nv -O- https://download.calibre-ebook.com/linux-installer.sh | sudo sh /dev/stdin version=4.23.0

However, when I do it, I cannot open Calibre at all anymore. When I check with -apt list --installed, I get the following information:
calibre-bin/stable,now 6.13.0+repack-2+deb12u4 amd64 [Installiert,automatisch]
calibre/stable,stable,now 6.13.0+repack-2+deb12u4 all [installiert]

So, do you have any idea how I can get 4.23.0 running?

Thanks a lot and best regards,

Judith
