[Erik Buelinckx]

Thanks both of you for the answers (merci)
I think I'll stick with my working installation then.
No need to complicate life. 😉

My general advise for people using a distribution and who want to avoid
technical issues, is to stick with the packages provided by the
distribution.

Look at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tellico where you can find
the last version for your distro. Maybe you won't have the latest
Tellico as it would require a more recent QT stack, not available. Then
you may as well upgrade your distro to the version which contains the
Tellico you want. Ot wait for the next LTS (26.04 in april) to provide
it.

Not in my opinion if you already have a recent 3.5. But fixes brought by
Robby of course.

>Will there be a possibility to install newer versions of Tellico on "older" (well sort of...) versions of Ubuntu?

Not easily dur to the deps required. However some people seems to
provide PPA for that:
https://launchpad.net/~dominik-stadler/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+packages

Hope this helps,
Bruno.
