As Paul already suggested in a reply to your report please use the "scribus" package, which is a stable line (1.3.3.x), as scribus-ng is indeed an unstable developmental series. You are quite welcome to file concrete bug reports for any particular bugs you find in scribus-ng (1.3.4). I apologize for not devising a better notification for this.
