i3-gaps config errors

I merged your file with auto-generated configuration but some lines cause me config errors, as you can see:
ERROR: CONFIG: Expected one of these tokens: <end>, '#', 'set ', 'set ', 'set_from_resource', 'bindsym', 'bindcode', 'bind', 'bar', 'font', 'mode', 'floating_minimum_size', 'floating_maximum_size', 'floating_modifier', 'default_orientation', 'workspace_layout', 'new_window', 'new_float', 'hide_edge_borders', 'for_window', 'assign', 'no_focus', 'focus_follows_mouse', 'mouse_warping', 'force_focus_wrapping', 'force_xinerama', 'force-xinerama', 'disable_randr15', 'disable-randr15', 'workspace_auto_back_and_forth', 'fake_outputs', 'fake-outputs', 'force_display_urgency_hint', 'focus_on_window_activation', 'show_marks', 'workspace', 'ipc_socket', 'ipc-socket', 'restart_state', 'popup_during_fullscreen', 'exec_always', 'exec', 'client.background', 'client.focused_inactive', 'client.focused', 'client.unfocused', 'client.urgent', 'client.placeholder'

ERROR: FYI: You are using i3 version 4.14.1 (2017-09-24)
I had to comment out those lines to hide this error message at start-up.
I'm using KDE on Kubuntu 18.04.
I installed i3-gaps using this small script:
#!/bin/bash
sudo apt install -y libxcb1-dev libxcb-keysyms1-dev libpango1.0-dev libxcb-util0-dev libxcb-icccm4-dev libyajl-dev libstartup-notification0-dev libxcb-randr0-dev libev-dev libxcb-cursor-dev libxcb-xinerama0-dev libxcb-xkb-dev libxkbcommon-dev libxkbcommon-x11-dev autoconf libxcb-xrm0 libxcb-xrm-dev automake
cd /tmp
# clone the repository
git clone https://www.github.com/Airblader/i3 i3-gaps
cd i3-gaps
# compile & install
autoreconf --force --install
rm -rf build/
mkdir -p build && cd build/
# Disabling sanitizers is important for release versions!
# The prefix and sysconfdir are, obviously, dependent on the distribution.
../configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --disable-sanitizers
make
sudo make install
What does it give you trying with the original file and not the merged version?
No problem with default configuration.
Merging probably gives duplicate keys or an invalid configuration
It turned out that apparently i3-gaps was not correctly installed. Re-installing it from this PPA fixed the issue. Thanks, anyway!
