[Bruce Steers]

You're welcome.

you should have the qt5 versions on ubuntu anything qt4 is not installed.
if you still want to upgrade gambas there is compilation/autotools method.
run the following commands in a terminal.....


git clone --depth=1 https://gitlab.com/gambas/gambas.git --branch=stable
$HOME/gambas-stable
cd $HOME/gambas-stable
apt-get update && DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -y

./reconf-all
./configure -C -q --disable-keyring --disable-qt4
