It appears the fix for bug 1746740 is still missing from 18.04 so let's keep this with that bug for now.

To verify if the fix will work for you though, please also test the proposed fix by downloading the packages from here:

Sure. I guess I was confused or misunderstood because the last comment in the other bug says it is closed and to make a new bug.
