Appimage for the desktop client broken

📱 Desktop & mobile clients

Hi there,

finally the new desktop client came out today (4.0.5). I usually use the Appimage but this time the client seems to be broken.

This is the error upon startup:

symbol lookup error: /tmp/.mount_NextclBcDbdH/usr/bin/../lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol:
g_string_copy

There seems to be a mix of the loaded/used library GLib. According to ChatGPT the following test verifies if the Appimage is broken (installed GLib is 2.80.0 which should be new enough):

  1. Extracted the Appimage: ./Nextcloud --appimage-extract
  2. cd squashfs-root
  3. To make sure only the librabries from the Appimage are used:
    1. LD_LIBRARY_PATH= ./AppRun
    2. Same error as above

Please verify and eventually fix the Appimage.

Thanks

Klaus
