Thanks for the reply. I do understand that when the final version of v5.0 comes out it will mean a new installation, not an upgrade. I still remember the earlier version of Lite which I used some time...

I am on version 4.0 which I installed from the full version, not the beta one. It still wants to upgrade me to version 3.8. I have never had this problem with the 3 series.

Thanks for that. It seems the there is a problem, and that rainlendar does not yet work properly in ubuntu 18.04. Several people are having problems. I will look out to see if it gets resolved.
