Hi there,

I don't think this bug is a duplicate of bug #1898904. Here the error is
NOT "AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'cancel'" BUT
"PyCapsule_GetPointer called with incorrect name".

I upgraded my Linux Mint 20 this morning & got the error in this bug not
the other one.

The bug is there since 06/2020 & we are 12/2020. Does this means that
Calibre is not usable for all Ubuntu (&derivates) uses for ~6 months?!?
I find it strange... If it would be the case, this bug would have
received a LOT more votes/attention, no?

Whatever, this bug is very blocking for me as I use Calibre a lot to
read/convert books and comics. I've installed the latest standalone
binary build of calibre as recommended by @eschwartz and it works
seamlessly (I used `wget -nv -O- https://download.calibre-ebook.com
/linux-installer.sh | sh /dev/stdin install_dir=~/calibre-bin
isolated=y` to install it as user for testing purposes).

Can someone tell me (or point me to documentations that explain) how I
could create a wrapper package that executes this script and how I can
ask Ubuntu's maintainers to replace the current faulty package from the
repos by such a wrapper package?

Thanks
