Hi,

It works because it's bringing with him all required libraries,
including the 'buggy' libQtGui (an older version, it seems). This is
also why the appearance is not the same as the system, as its not using
the parameters used at system level.

The issue with that approach is that:
- those libs may need some security fix that you will never get
- you have to install/uninstall the software by hand
- it's overwriting some files installed by the package
meaning that if you want to install the application from the website, you have to uninstall first the calibre and calibre-bin packages.

Hope this helps,

Fabrice
