We had a user at gambas-club.de reporting that he cannot install packages
made by your PPA's 3.5.0 IDE. The problem was also about something with
gambas3-gb-gui not being found. I'm glad this problem found its way to the
list without me having to mediate it (because I don't know anything about
Debian/Ubuntu packaging).

What should I tell him?
