Bug Description

Not a software bug but a package consistency error.

Since 5.0.0 was released each time I install KiCad on clear computer when first time opening Symbol Editor I see error: Library file "C:\.....\Logic_74xx.lib" not found.

I supposed (not checked) that sym-lib-table contains that library.
With 5.1 I've got the same error and this time searched and found the reason.
As to run any KiCad application you need to open a project I used to start from opening a pic_programmer project (not any old at my PC, but the one comeing with that KiCad installation).
In that project there is sym-lib-table containing this library and it is the source of Error message.

I think all demos should be checked if compatible with KiCad V5.

More specifically, no demos should depend on global libraries.
