ubuntu 17.10 : 2017.4.20 fails to open update URL #517

The app detects a new version and prompts to download, but nothing happens. Log shows this error:

exo-open: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpangoft2-1.0.so.0: undefined symbol: FcWeightToOpenType

(I would recommend shelling out to xdg-open to open URLs - unless this attempts an inline download of some kind)

Thanks for reporting! Currently it uses QDesktopServices::openUrl(QUrl);

Packaging ABI compatible Linux binaries is tricky. Short of setting up build systems and repos for various distributions, you could look into relying on flatpak for distribution to avoid those sort of issues in the future.
