Comment 3 for bug 1839723

Unfortunately, I was using the version of KiCAD offered by the Ubuntu
repository. I have stepped outside the "official" stream of packages with
other packages and have faced problems. However, I guess you guys are the
KiCAD maintainers -- this is no longer your scope, but that of the Ubuntu
maintainers.

Will try to move my KiCAD up to your latest stable release.
