Bug Description
After some Package Updates Calibre stopped working.
Error is:
```
~$ calibre
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/calibre", line 20, in <module>
sys.
File "/usr/lib/
main(args)
File "/usr/lib/
listener = create_listener()
File "/usr/lib/
return Listener(
File "/usr/lib/
self.
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'cancel'
```
So it seems it has something to do with "gui socket address".
I can't tell exactly when it broke since I don't use it daily but it definitly worked on my Ubuntu 20.04 last time I used it.
