But for ****WHO**** to update the PPA package??????????

PPA packages are NOT part of the official Ubuntu release and are installable
at the users own risk for whatever bugs and security problems may be contained
therein.

So are you going to get in touch with whoever has built a PPA package and
ask them to update their version?

In fact on doing a quick web search for Ubuntu Linphone PPA, the only relevant
item I see is one containing the text

       Linphone PPA (release) : Felix Lechner - Launchpad
       This PPA has been superseded in favor of the "Linphone Team". 

which leads back to the question in my previous message

      "Have you been in touch with the Ubuntu Linphone Team?"

which us yet to be answered.

It is not a matter of sinply providing on update package, but all of the 
necessary
dependencies (and possible conflcits which other packages which rely on them, or
versions of libraries from which they themselves are built), viz

   Package: linphone
   Version: 3.6.1-2.5
   Depends: libatk1.0-0 (>= 1.12.4),
            libc6 (>= 2.7),
            libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 (>= 2.22.0),
            libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.31.8),
            libgtk2.0-0 (>= 2.22.0),
            liblinphone5 (>= 3.6.1),
            libmediastreamer-base3 (>= 3.6.1),
            libnotify4 (>= 0.7.0),
            libortp9 (>= 3.6.1),
            libudev1 (>= 183),
            linphone-nogtk (= 3.6.1-2.5)

See this web page for somebody who tried to install a newer version in 16.04
from a PPA and it would not work because the appropriate liblinphone library
was not also updated to the necessary matching version.
