Release 7.22 won't run on Ubuntu 24.10

[grosorg]

Upgraded Ubuntu from 24.04 LTS to 24.10 (20 years, anniversary edition).
Calibre - was removed with the upgrade.
Installed Calibre from terminal.

Starting Calibre via GUI - failed.
Starting from terminal shows issues:
$ calibre

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/share/calibre/fonts/liberation/LiberationSerif-BoldItalic.ttf'


sudo apt install fonts-liberation
fonts-liberation is already the newest version (1:2.1.5-3).

:/usr/share/fonts/truetype/liberation$ ls
LiberationSansNarrow-BoldItalic.ttf LiberationSansNarrow-Italic.ttf
LiberationSansNarrow-Bold.ttf LiberationSansNarrow-Regular.ttf

In Calibre folder there are more fonts than in the latest version:

$ ls -l /usr/share/calibre/fonts/liberation/
total 40

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 62 Aug 22 13:25 LiberationSerif-Regular.ttf -> ../../../fonts/truetype/liberation/LiberationSerif-Regular.ttf

As shown above, in the destination there are only 4 files / fonts.
In /calibre/fonts/liberation/ - there are more links (marked "->").

Any (easy) steps to fix it?

P.S. Made few extra steps. Yet no success. Steps included:
Reinstalled python3
sudo fc-cache -f -v
Calibre reinstallation

How are you installing calibre? Is it the version from the Ubuntu repository (not recommended) or the official version from Kovid (HTTPS://www.calibre-ebook.com )?
