Can't upgrade to 2.82 on Linux

Hi, one of my machines will not upgrade from terminal, I am stuck on v 2.79 and can see no errors with the installation process to 2.82 - is this a known problem?

No. You are likely mixing two calibre installation methods. Perhaps the distro package and binary install. UNinstall all calibre traces from your system and then re-install and you should be fine. Uninstalling does not touch your books/settings.

This may help someone in the future.

My solution to this issue was to purge the package manager cache of downloaded packages, forcing it to redownload "the latest".

Code:
sudo apt-get clean
It took me hours to figure out that the binary that I was debugging wasn't the latest one installed...
