Is not that referring to the Disc deb file, not the one built by Stephen
for 18.04?

Which build is looking for 1.58?  A packaged installation requires specific
versions of libraries to be installed. Otherwise you would never be certain
that something would run correctly.  That is one of the reasons that you
normally have a different package build for each Ubuntu version.
