As I mailed frequently to frescobaldi and to the lilypond mail list it
was/is definitely impossible for me to get frescobaldi 3.0 to work with
any ubuntu 17 version and any linux brand based on ubuntu 17! I tried to
install frescobaldi 3.0 multiple times on that version(s), especially
following some large updates - without success and gave up at least.

I work with different linuxes since about 40 years and was a fluent
programmer in my active live. I recommend(ed) frescobaldi to make the
error messages more specific to tell the user which version (2,3,4 or
9.5 or whatever) of something is needed. The python install file of
frescobaldi knows (hopefully), which version of s
omething is missing.

I got running frescobaldi on version 18 up and do not longer use any
ubuntu 17 based version or brand. I erased ubuntu studio (I think based
on ubuntu 17.04?). Eventually I give a new release of ubunto studio
based on an ubuntu 18 another try. Anybody can setup and install the
required programs of ubuntu studio by hand to any linux version.

I recommand anybody not to waste any time with ubuntu 17 and frescobaldi
3.0. The frescobaldi version in the distribution repository  of 17 (I
think 2.20.0?) is working without any problem.
