The evolution is flatpak. It's always been my experience that Ubuntu comes with a version that never gets updated, it's the linux way not just the ubuntu way :-) If you wait until next month there should be a new 21.ot lts version out that will come packaged with probably 4.4 :-)
Until then if you want to go to 4.4 and correct your issues do as both Geert and John explained. Cheers David H. On Fri, 5 Mar 2021 at 05:36, David G.
