    Calibre Installation

    Hello
    I have a bit of time and want to use it to evaluate KDE neon. Up to now everyhing I did went well. Now I have a first problem with Calibre, A program I do use quite often. I tried to install it:

    Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
    requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
    distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
    or been moved out of Incoming.
    The following information may help to resolve the situation:

    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
    calibre : Depends: calibre-bin (>= 3.21.0+dfsg-1build1) but it is not going to be installed
    E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

    Is anyone able and willing to help me?

    In Discover is a version "Calibre -- E-book Editor“ listed. Actually this would be absolutely sufficient for me. So, if there is a way to install just this, I'd be happy.

    Thanks to all.

    Re. Calibre, see https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=309&t=140850

    If that doesn't help, post the entire output of sudo apt update and sudo apt full-upgrade.

      The Calibre from the Ubuntu repositories cannot be installed in Neon as it was built with and depends on different version of Qt than the one Neon has.

      So install direct from the Calibre website, which has builds that bundle their own Qt libs so it can work on any system.

      Code:
      sudo -v && wget -nv -O- https://download.calibre-ebook.com/linux-installer.sh | sudo sh /dev/stdin
