I'm pretty sure I have this same issue, but I cannot seem to figure it out.
Using latest Ubuntu.
Here's what happens after I utilize the install script on the download page...
myusername:~$ sudo python -c "import urllib2; exec urllib2.urlopen('http://status.calibre-ebook.com/linux_installer').read(); main()"
Enter the installation directory for calibre [/opt]:
