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.
