Calibre in TUmbleweed

English Install/Boot/Login

I have just upgraded to version 20220729/KDE and now calibre does not work any more. Trying command line I get this:

uli@linux-4skc:~> calibre 
Traceback (most recent call last): 
  File "/usr/bin/calibre", line 21, in <module> 
    sys.exit(calibre())

    from mechanize import MozillaCookieJar

First there is no calibre in Leap15.4 and now it does not work in Tumbleweed any more. What is going on there? Any ideas? What is this “line 8, in <module> from mechanize import MozillaCookieJar” - all I want is to open calibre?

As a temporary workaround, you could uninstall calibre and then reinstall it using the method from its website https://calibre-ebook.com/download_linux

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

Thank you, burgess-m, I have just done this. I did it a few days ago with Leap and worked very and it works with Tumbleweed as well.
