Upgrading to Excalibur removed it.

When I try to install it from the Daedalus I get this:

root@pcale:~# dpkg -i ~ale/Downloads/telegram-desktop_4.6.5+ds-2+b1_amd64.deb
(Reading database ... 1247090 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack .../telegram-desktop_4.6.5+ds-2+b1_amd64.deb ...
Unpacking telegram-desktop (4.6.5+ds-2+b1) over (4.6.5+ds-2+b1) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of telegram-desktop:
telegram-desktop depends on qtbase-abi-5-15-8; however:
Package qtbase-abi-5-15-8 is not installed.
Package libqt5core5a:amd64 which provides qtbase-abi-5-15-8 is not installed.

And then:

root@pcale:~# apt-get install libqt5core5a:amd64
Reading package lists... Done

Note, selecting 'libqt5core5t64' instead of 'libqt5core5a'
libqt5core5t64 is already the newest version (5.15.15+dfsg-6).
libqt5core5t64 set to manually installed.
You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  telegram-desktop : Depends: qtbase-abi-5-15-8
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
E: The following information from --solver 3.0 may provide additional context:
    Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

The binary, as untarred from the .deb file, seems to work. It prints lots of errors, but most of them used to be printed before as well.

Let's see what happens.

Thank you
Ale
