To update my calibre under UBuntu, I just go by the defaults it provides me - nothing more. Just issue:
Code:
sudo python -c "import urllib2; exec urllib2.urlopen('http://calibre.kovidgoyal.net/download_linux_binary_installer').read(); main()"
on the command line - answer to the questions - and voila.
It just updates the code, not your eBook DB.
Well yes.
I entered that into the command line and it went and downloaded calibre all over again, extracted it and whatnot. I entered "y" and pressed enter.

That's it, is it?

mm yes?

PS: I thought it was just going to update, not download the entire thing again
