just to add some salt.
Running Kubuntu 15.10 which delivers Kexi 2.9.7 (much better than 2.8.5) 
I added the backport PPA ....which put down the file manager, and did 
not upgrade Kexi to 2.9.11

So I just went back to before the added PPA, corrected some 
problems....and now go on waiting for next upgrades of Kexi by basic 
PPAs, since, on another hand, I don't success to compile....
