Uninstall the distro provided calibre package you are using and use th official calibre binary from the calibre website.

[pavlos555]

Thank you for your answer. I uninstalled calibre using these commands

sudo apt-gedt purge calibre

and

sudo apt-get autoremove

Then i installed calibre with the command provided in the website but still i get the same error
