New information on my problem. I went to the GambasWIKI site and followed these three instructions under the "Gambas3 Stable" header (which is how I installed it the first time):
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nemh/gambas3 sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install gambas3 What I have now when I open Gambas is and get system info is: [System] Gambas=3.5.3 OperatingSystem=Linux Kernel=3.5.0-48-generic Architecture=x86 Distribution=Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS Desktop=GNOME Theme=QGtk Language=en_US.UTF-8 Memory=2017M [Libraries] Cairo=libcairo.so.2.11000.2 Curl=libcurl.so.4.2.0 DBus=libdbus-1.so.3.5.8 GStreamer=libgstreamer-0.10.so.0.30.0 GStreamer=libgstreamer-1.0.so.0.1.0 GTK+=libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.2400.10 OpenGL=libGL.so.1.2.0 Poppler=libpoppler.so.19.0.0 Qt4=libQtCore.so.4.8.1 SDL=libSDL-1.2.so.0.11.3 NOTE that Gambas 3.5.2 has been replaced by Gambas 3.5.3 (the only change). When I issued the first install instruction, I get results I was not anticipating. They were as follows: bill@Troll:~$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nemh/gambas3 [sudo] password for bill: You are about to add the following PPA to your system: This PPA contain the stable version of Gambas 3.

Shouldn't that be fixed? When I executed the "Install" command, I asked me if I wanted to install "unverified" packages. I answered "Y". and it installed. Now, when I run the Update Manager it says I have no updates to install. So, I guess my "problem" is solved for the time being. Will this happen the next time updates are up for Gambas?
