I solved the problem by installing Calibre from a package downloaded directly from the Calibre website.

That is an example of why I never update one release version to the next. I back up my data, which is a good thing anyway, and do a fresh install. Some may do an upgrade and have good results, but doing a fresh install means one less variable to deal with."A nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.”

Good pointers. Just one fly in the ointment: cost of memory/media to hold backup. Pensioner here
Never had partitioning issues - just remember where it all went/goes, and to select partition for Grub.
Eenyhoo - Solution to Calibre issue for me was 16.04 upgrade, and normal repo.
Going back over my previous woes, not many skittles left to be knocked down. Main remnant is Muon Updater - its progress bar seems to indicate ony progress of download phase (just cosmetic, but a 'professional presentation' matter). Haven't bothered with bluetooth yet, but I guess time will tell.
Thanks folks!

Pensioner here too. That and my wife's two heart and one hip operation is why I am still using this six year old laptop. However, since I haven't written any significant code since I retired eight years ago and only use this laptop for browsing, email, shopping, Minecraft and the occasional math modeling with Sage it doesn't have to be powerful. As long as Stellarium and Universe Sandbox^2 run smoothly I'm happy with the graphics."A nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.”

It is as true in this country as it was in the old USSR and now in Russia."A nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.”
