Another pitfall seems to be that users do not expect that they need to 
update their fp-lib-table after installing kicad 5.

Either they need to update the fp-lib-table to get the footprint library 
to the state of v5 or they would need to manually install the version 4 
symbol and 3d model libs to stay at the version 4 library.
