latest Calibre won´t install in Mint

I have always installed and updated Calibre following the instructions of Calibre, as given in their website: enter this command:
sudo -v && wget -nv -O- https://download.calibre-ebook.com/linux-installer.sh | sudo sh /dev/stdin

Up to last week this worked instantly. Today, upon opening Calibre it said there is a new version, so I opened my terminal and entered above cmd. But this time, it returned an error:
Using python executable: /usr/bin/python3

You are missing the system library libxcb-cursor.so.0. Try installing packages such as libxcb-cursor0 or xcb-cursor


I have tried on three different computers, one with a fresh install of the latest Linux Mint (21.2), my regular one with the same install, and one with Linux mint 21.1. All gave the same error.
Has anyone experienced this? I tried to Google for a solution but found none.

Why bother google when this is staring at you.

Release: 7.0 [17 Nov, 2023] won't run on Linux Mint

To install the requisite package please use following terminal command:

Code:
sudo apt install libxcb-cursor0
Then update Calibre via the terminal as formerly.

xcb-util-cursor should work for rpm distributions

sudo dnf install xcb-util-cursor worked for me

Mint is Debian, not RPM, hence the given correct answer. The rpm is redhat and derivitives/forks (CentOS, Barack, fedora etc).

Probably most non-rpm distros, inc Debian, Mint, Ubuntu (any where you use apt)
Code:
sudo apt install libxcb-cursor0
