Oh please, did you even read what bb wrote? He was talking about that very same instruction, which has multiple issues:

https://github.com/wbsoft/frescobaldi/issues/1048

https://github.com/wbsoft/frescobaldi/issues/1045

Also, one needs python-ly 0.9.5: https://github.com/wbsoft/python-poppler-qt5/issues/14#issuecomment-353958409

– which isn’t available through pip or apt.
