Debian comaintainer for Linphone here.  I see that the Linphone
version preceding the current one in Kubuntu still was 3.12.
Packaging newer 4.x versions lagged behind for a long time due to lack
of manpower, and we're still in the process of catching up.
Unfortunately, the current packages are not as feature-complete as
we'd like yet, but we're working on it and hope to provide
feature-complete backports compatible with Debian Bullseye (and maybe
derivatives) after Bullseye will have been released.  Until then
you'll have to be patient and/or use the appimage.

Thank you Maciej and Dennis!

Indeed the appimage solution worked. Looks like the Ubuntu packages lack mkv support.
