I am unable to install the Calibre or Calibre-Bin packages, due to unmet dependencies.

The following output may be useful:

lsb_release -rd

Please close.

It was pointed out on the linked forum, that one of my repos was down, so not getting all of the info I needed. This has been fixed, and Calibre is now installed.

Thank you,

Chris.
