Maybe some qt package is missing. Here's what I have installed that has qt in the name (or description)
Compare what's in your laptop to this list or one like this from your desktop.
dpkg -l |grep qt gives me a lot more that, 92 of the desktop (working) and 38 not the not working laptop. As I have an alternative will work on it on return.

What do "complete load" and "complete reload" mean?
Did you run 'apt update' and 'apt upgrade' before installing calibre?
By complete load and complete reload I mean installation from iso including reformat of drives with ' apt update' and 'apt upgrade'
What did work was loading Beowulf on a VM and installing Calibre on that. While not fully satisfactory I am off for some serious dental stuff in Bangkok and will be hanging around in hotel not really up for anything. Sorting out tags etc on Calibre will be a useful way to spent the time.

That's what I started with:
# calibre-uninstall
Has been used many times

Have Calibre 5.12 running fine on a desktop with a complete load of Chimera mid 22.
Complete reload on a laptop and loaded latest Calibre. Attempting to run I get
"
jc@devuandell:~$ calibre
qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though
it was found.
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be
initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl,
offscreen, vnc, wayland-egl, wayland, wayland-xcomposite-egl,
wayland-xcomposite-glx, xcb
"
Reinstalled xcb, rest don't appear to be available ; tried various 5.x versions of Calibre again the same message
Any ideas?"

Minor once I sorted it out but PATH does not include /usr/sbin or /sbin on installation
This is using the DVD ISO on a VM
