Yes, i have seen this. But the Appimage script tries to start 'arch'

Sym-linking tla to arch does not help:

[hph at hackbrett4 Temp]$
./digikam-7.0.0-beta3-20200318T054830-x86-64.appimage -- digiKam Linux
AppImage Bundle -- Use 'help' as CLI argument to know all available options
for digiKam application. -- Notes: to integrate this bundle to your
desktop, use AppImageLauncher. --        to enable all debug messages on
the console, use 'export QT_LOGGING_RULES="digikam*=true"'. libudev.so.0 
usage: tla command ...
  (try 'tla -h')
libnss3.so 
usage: tla command ...
  (try 'tla -h')
...

So maybe tla is really a different command.

When creating a script named 'arch' which simply calls 'uname -m', the error
message goes away, but digikam still does not start:

[hph at hackbrett4 Temp]$
./digikam-7.0.0-beta3-20200318T054830-x86-64.appimage -- digiKam Linux

libnss3.so

The older 'digikam-7.0.0-beta1-20191221T113643-x86-64.appimage' does start
and work fine.
