Description NLN 2023-10-08 21:01:42 UTC 
Gnome-characters fails to launch on freshly installed Opensuse Tumbleweed.


Steps to reproduce:

1: install Tumbleweed with Xfce desktop
2: install gnome-characters with `zypper install gnome-characters`
3: launch gnome-characters from the menu icon


Actual result:

A window reading:
  Failed to execute command "/usr/bin/gnome-characters".
  Failed to execute child process "/usr/bin/gnome-characters" (No such file or directory)

(Launching from terminal gives "bash: /usr/bin/gnome-characters: cannot execute: required file not found" message.)


Expected result:

The application starts.
Comment 1 Dominique Leuenberger 2023-10-09 06:41:15 UTC 
There is apparently missing a runtime dependency on /usr/bin/gjs-console

RPM does not auto-detect it due to the file in /usr/bin only being a symlink and not actually a binary. 

Fix in progress
