</div>This is most likely a matter of how Ubuntu choses to package Scribus.<br>
<br>
When using the Scribus repositories (<a href="http://www.scribus.net" target="_blank">www.scribus.net</a> and click on<br>
Download to learn how to use them) the package "scribus" is still the<br>
1.3.3 series, whereas the 1.4 series is called "scribus-ng" (ng as in<br>
"next generation"), so both can be installed in parallel.<br>
<br>
So you should not blame the Scribus team but the Ubuntu team. Ubuntu<br>
has quite a long record of "breaking" things for Scribus users, for<br>
example only packaging the Unstable version or having patches in Qt<br>
that gives problems.<br>

Although the gentleman apparently did not realize it, he did have a
choice when the upgrade to the latest version of Ubuntu Linux was done.
Ubuntu does not automatically upgrade from a stable version to an
unstable version. The fact that both exists in their repositories is
proof of that. Ubuntu sees the two versions as different apps as much
as GIMP and Inkscape are different apps even as you pointed out it your
