kinuxmint; dependency issue for libmpv.so.2

[Arskin-Fertrubble]

on Linux Mint 21.3 Virginia 9sorry about the title typo)

sudo apt install libmpv1 libsqlite3-dev libfuse2
Reading package lists... Done

libfuse2 is already the newest version (2.9.9-5ubuntu3).
libmpv1 is already the newest version (0.34.1-1ubuntu3).
libsqlite3-dev is already the newest version (3.37.2-2ubuntu0.5)

then chmod +x debrify-*.AppImage

Run it:
./debrify-0.3.0-beta.1-x86_64.AppImage

Result:
/tmp/.mount_debrifEgXUzD/usr/bin/debrify: error while loading shared libraries: libmpv.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Thanks for reporting this! The issue is that the AppImage is linked against libmpv2 (libmpv.so.2), but Linux
Mint 21.3 (based on Ubuntu 22.04) only has libmpv1 in its repos.

Workaround: Try installing libmpv2 instead of libmpv1. If it's not available in your repos, you can try
creating a symlink as a temporary fix:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libmpv.so.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libmpv.so.2

Note: this symlink may not work perfectly if there are API differences between the two versions.

I'll look into bundling libmpv inside the AppImage for future releases so this isn't an issue.

Thanks for the information. I thought as much. I'll upgrade the OS I think.

Cheers
