[digiKam-users] New Linux AppImage 64 bits for digiKam 7.9.0 pre release

[kaizubg at gmail.com]

Hi,

Some additional finding from my config:

[ lib]$ pwd
/usr/lib
[ lib]$ ls -alF libpcre*
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root     20 11. 5. 21:47 libpcre2-8.so.0 ->
libpcre2-8.so.0.11.0*
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 640284 11. 5. 21:47 libpcre2-8.so.0.11.0*
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root     23 11. 5. 21:47 libpcre2-posix.so.3 ->
libpcre2-posix.so.3.0.2*
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root  14744 11. 5. 21:47 libpcre2-posix.so.3.0.2*
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root     21 21. 1.  2022 libpcreposix.so.0 ->
libpcreposix.so.0.0.7*
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root  15300 21. 1.  2022 libpcreposix.so.0.0.7*
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root     17 21. 1.  2022 libpcre.so.1 ->
libpcre.so.1.2.13*
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 513688 21. 1.  2022 libpcre.so.1.2.13*

Google search gives a hint for a workaround to make a link libpcre.so.3
to libpcre.so.1.2.13. However I did not try this.    

Regards,

Kai
