Problem upgrading calibre

The following occurs when I go to install calibre on AMD64 Ubuntu Jaunty:

This deleted calibre from my computer and the version in the repositories for Jaunty is 0.4.143+dfsg-1..

Same here. Ubuntu 8.10 32bit:

Exact the same here, Intrepid 32..

Should be fixed now.

fshapps · 04-16-2009, 12:48 PM

Worked like a charm. Thanks!

It worked for me, too.

However, there was another issue here, one that Kovid might consider.

When the update procedure failed, my /opt/calibre was already purged. Maybe it should be backed up (say, /tmp?) until upgrade procedure has finished the download, allowing upgrade procedure to recover from such a failure without wiping the previous installation?

TIA.
