Thanks a lot for sharing the files. 

I've installed them yesterday and this version seems to work fine on my
Ubuntu 18.04 system without any additional packages. But I had already
installed 3.4.1 from debian before with all dependencies, quite a lot. 

By the way, 3.5 is not yet available for debian, the maintainer is
looking for help:
