Shotcut won't start anymore (v18.03 Linux snap)

Bug
1

Since today (4th of March) Shotcut wont start anymore. As far as I see, I received an update yesterday (3rd of March, 18.03). When I try to run Shotcut in the terminal, I see the errors shown below. I have looked at the system /usr/lib… folder and the Qt5 libraries are there, but somehow, the path does not seem to be correct. I also removed Shotcut and reinstalled it again, but no luck.
Could it be that something went wrong in the build of the Ubuntu Snappy package?

Seems like you should notify your package maintainer. I don’t think there is anyone participating in this forum who has anything to do with that.

There is a problem with the snap, and I reverted the published version to the previous version this morning. Almost every month, something changes with snapcraft that breaks the snap build or at runtime. It’s really getting annoying. I am working on it, and I will give it several more hours of effort. If I fail to resolve it, then I am not sure. I might just give up maintaining it.

I gave up and removed information about the snap on the downloads page of the web site. It looks like we have to do major build rework to support Snap again, and I do not have time to deal with that (not fair to the other 99%).

Hi Dan,

Sorry for replying so late, but I tried the manual install and its working. I also see the snap is working again. So I dont know what you did, but thx for fixing this stuff!

Yes, as mormin noted, this version is now available and working.
