++ plus the idea used in the libreoffice installer where a helper dummy package is needed to indicate that "a package" is installed and to allow uninstall with MXPI.

It is not in MXPI, yet, also it might go first through an internal quality assurance testing.
Re "update itself" - as it is not installed as a deb-package and as such not part of apt 's updates mechanism, it might be better stay as manual update option within MXPI itself. Calibre's own feature to inform about available update might be sufficient to "trigger" a manual update.

Here's the code (cli in terminal) to run for an update according to the calibre site (I used it yesterday and had success.).

Code: Select all

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