Needs more information - see https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#must-read (edit: actually, since you can't get to the info dialog, did you install qbittorrent from the official ubuntu repo or the ppa?)

What do you see when you run qbittorrent in a terminal? And dpkg -l | grep qbittorrent?

If you installed qbittorrent from https://launchpad.net/~qbittorrent-team/+archive/ubuntu/qbittorrent-stable, note that Ubuntu disables all PPAs during the do-release-upgrade process and leaves you with old PPA packages that may not run on the new Ubuntu release. You have to re-add or re-enable the PPA, then apt-get update and apt-get upgrade.

Try removing qbittorrent, removing the ppa:qbittorrent-team/qbittorrent-unstable PPA, then adding the ppa:qbittorrent-team/qbittorrent-stable PPA, then apt-get update, apt-get install qbittorrent.

(It looks like the unstable PPA stopped getting updated?)
