Ralf,
Thanks for the coaching! I now have TickVue 0.13.05 running on one of my 
16.04 LTS systems.

The solution was as I expected after the reserech you suggested be done 
regarding dependencies. After backing things up, I copied the following 
5 files to a 16.04 LTS system from my 14.04 LTS system:

/usr/bin/tickvue
/usr/share/applications/tickvue.desktop
/usr/share/doc/tickvue/copyright
/usr/share/pixmaps/tickvue.png
and
.config/TickVue/TickVue,conf (my existing list of stocks and funds)

Started it up and it works just fine! YMV I will let you know if TickVue 
is still in place after the upgrade. It was not on the the system I used 
to test before or after upgrade.

Now I can upgrade my last system to 16.04, first I want to make a backup 
after stopping all activity on the on the net. This will insure nothing 
gets changed after the backup completes (no mail, news-feeds, and browsers)

Cheers,
Jay
