Over time, a number of services started to depend on a quite old version of postgresql - I found two services using postgresql 9.6 for with the last and final version was just released a few days ago.

Today, my system updated to calibre 5.0. With this major release, calibre moved from python2 to python3 calibre has moved to using Python 3. This is because Python 2 was end-of-lifed this year.

For status on the various plugin ports, see here.
