As JLuc wrote (with "this is very odd"), you probably got 1.5.6svn from
the PPA.  Pity that Ubuntu 20.04 doesn't have what's required to build
the newer versions (trunk) of scribus, so it's just an old snapshot and
not updated anymore.  it's basically 1 or 2 commits after 1.5.6.

You are probably seeing two application (scribus and scribus-trunk) both
registering themselves as able to handle .sla.  I bet you probably just
need to configure your system which one you prefer to use.
Or you should explain better whtat you mean.

Yeah, well.  that's what you get by using -trunk, that's something that
you definitely should not be using when you are looking for any sort of
bug-free experience.
That was fixed later and it was a temporary issue, but since -trunk is
not updated anymore for 20.04 it'll stay there.  it shouldn't affect any
other build though (like, the -ng which is 1.5.6.1).
