Code:
sudo -v && wget --no-check-certificate -nv -O- https://download.calibre-ebook.com/linux-installer.sh | sudo sh /dev/stdin
and launched via command line, I found all previously installed plugins.
Went aehad installing KFX output and... it worked!
But I didn't stop playing, I wanted to see if it was only the installer script, so I uninstalled via calibre-uninstall and reinstalled from Fedora repository: nothing: all plugins there, but if I checked KFX output, it was not listed as installed...
I removed the Fedora installed calibre, re-run "official" installation and upon launching, the KFX output plugin is there, shining bright.
I'm very puzzled: it seems to be setting there the whole time, but only showing with the official calibre.
I don't know if it is because "official calibre", to quote Kovid in download page, "calibre has a binary install that includes private versions of all its dependencies", or because newer version is actually 6.29.0 (so newer than Fedora repository).
I would expect the rpm file would bring the "private versions" if they are bundled by the calibre installer, but who knows...
I am waiting to see if rpm version works once Fedora gets a new round of updates for calibre.
