I saw Miika's response but let me add a few remarks

I'm always amused by Debian Antiques (aka stable). 5.3.2 is just a bit over two
years old... I /think/ we should still build with it, but I don't think anyone cares.

The ui_* files sometimes get out of sync. I'd suggest removing your build
directory completely and starting again


But... as Miika said, unless you want to send me patches, compiling from source
isn't really necessary. I really appreciate it if people actually test the same binaries
that our "regular users" will use, which in case of Linux is mostly going to be the
AppImage.

Yes, that's so generous of you to force yourself to Cairns, JUST to help
out. And testing of all three platforms (Linux, Windows, Android) is very,
very appreciated.

Testing. And reading the user manual and providing feedback where it
doesn't match the current user experience.

Thanks so much!
