[half solved]downloading calibre for linux

[roger64]

Hi

I have LMDE 64 bits and have been downloading calibre for ages without any problem. Today:

Code: Select all

roger@lmde64:~$ sudo -v && wget -nv -O- https://github.com/kovidgoyal/calibre/raw/master/setup/linux-installer.py | sudo python -c "import sys; main=lambda:sys.stderr.write('Download failed\n'); exec(sys.stdin.read()); main()"
[sudo] password for roger: 
GnuTLS: A TLS warning alert has been received.
Incapable d'établir une connexion SSL.
Download failed

I do not have the feeling I changed anything in LMDE but I read TLS need to be installed by the user. I certainly did not install voluntarily anything like that..Maybe that's part of systemd?

Perhaps the redirect is causing a problem? Try the direct link:

Code: Select all

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kovidgoyal/calibre/master/setup/linux-installer.py

Instead of your:

Code: Select all

https://github.com/kovidgoyal/calibre/raw/master/setup/linux-installer.py

[py-thon]

Strange. I thought that I installed calibre from the mint-repositories last year. Didn't I or is it no longer part of the repos?

It's certainly also there. Here: http://debian.linuxmint.com/latest/pool/main/c/calibre/. Version 1.14 is available on LMDE. But the latest Calibre release, that you get through the above method, is 1.28 Instructions are here, I didn't check if they match the above: http://calibre-ebook.com/download_linux

I also asked the same question to Kovid Goyal.

His reply says that wget is broken, and I can use curl -L for the time being. The latter worked but wget still needs repair... So half-solved.
