Footprint library path dont exist

Hello
I am new in ubuntu but i used KiCad in windows OS about 3 years old.
I install KiCad with Shell :

sudo add-apt-repository --yes ppa:js-reynaud/kicad-5.1
sudo apt update
sudo apt install --install-suggests kicad

I complete designing of my schematic,When i want to open CvPcb to associate footprint to symbol following errors is displayed :

Errors were encountered loading footprints:
Footprint library path “/usr/share/kicad/modules//Battery_Holders.pretty” does not exist
Footprint library path “/usr/share/kicad/modules//Buttons_Switches_SMD.pretty” does not exist
.
.
.
.
.
I think that double slash “//” after “modules” directory’s name is cause those errors,so i remove one “/” in “configure paths …” dialog but not solved.

For second try, I open “/usr/share/kicad/modules/” directory in shell. I confused because both directory and libraries are available.

Now how i can fix this error or bug?

thanks

Check out the FAQ, especially “Updating from version 4 to version 5” and " Library" sections.

Plural names mean you still have setup the version 4 lib. See I had KiCad 4 installed previosly. Now i updated to v5. Now i have some problems with the library setup
