me@host:~$ rm ./usr/lib/libnss* works for me here, but more investigation is needed whether this is an appropriate fix.

In fact, libnss3.so should not be removed from the bundles, as this causes other issues, e.g., https://github.com/probonopd/linuxdeployqt/issues/35#issuecomment-256213517 and https://github.com/AppImage/AppImages/pull/114.

Based on the linuxdeployqt issue, it seems like the pragmatic approach is to exclude libnss from the viper-browser bundle (which I've done in c0a8648933181e8e4c295b22f036d93659a1f1aa) until a fix is applied upstream.
