Release: 7.0 [17 Nov, 2023] won't run on Linux Mint
$ calibre
qt.qpa.plugin: From 6.5.0, xcb-cursor0 or libxcb-cursor0 is needed to load the Qt xcb platform plugin. qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found. This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem. Available platform plugins are: minimalegl, minimal, vkkhrdisplay, vnc, eglfs, linuxfb, wayland-egl, offscreen, wayland, xcb. Aborted (core dumped) ================== I have managed to revert to 6.29.0 |

On gentoo, the package is xcb-util-cursor.

I just tried /usr/bin/calibre-uninstall, and then installed the Debian package for Calibre, which installs Calibre 6.13, and that worked perfectly, no errors. Then I installed Calibre 7.4 on top of that, and it worked! install calibre 7.4 --> fails apt install calibre --> works install calibre 7.4 ontop --> works apt remove calibre, re-install calibre 7.4 --> works apt autoremove, re-install calibre 7.4 --> fails So the calibre 6.13 package includes something needed by calibre 7.4, but unfortunately none of the error messages give a clue what that might be. The autoremove uninstalled dozens of packages. |

Check and see if you have Xwayland installed.

Out of a perhaps morbid curiosity, I spun up a new Debian 12.4 64bit VM. The first pass at installing calibre from the command line at calibre-ebook.com gave the error message about "You are missing the system library libxcb-cursor.so.0. Try installing packages such as libxcb-cursor0 or xcb-cursor". So I ran apt-get install libxcb-cursor0 and it installed the package happily. Re-ran the command line and it installed calibre happily enough. Running calibre asked me for the location to store the library and came up with no apparent issues.

Thank you for this. Installing on latest Ubuntu 23.10 I kept getting the error about libxcb dependency (when using the recommended install command from the Calibre website).
The suggested "sudo apt install libxcb-cursor0" worked, on the second run. Then, "sudo -v && wget -nv -O- https://download.calibre-ebook.com/linux-installer.sh | sudo sh /dev/stdin" Thank you |
