Debian Stable: Please update binary so it uses newer version of libtiff #126

Describe the bug PirateWallet-Lite depends on old libtiff library, not present on Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm). I checked both .deb and .tar.gz versions available.

$ piratewallet-lite 
piratewallet-lite: error while loading shared libraries: libtiff.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The only solution is to link/copy/rename Debian version of the file libtiff.so.6 to libtiff.so.5 piratewallet-lite wants. File location is: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtiff.so.6

Details of the package in Debian Stable:

$ dpkg -l | grep libtiff6
ii  libtiff6:amd64                                4.5.0-6                              amd64        Tag Image File Format (TIFF) library

Please update the binary, so it uses a newer version of the library.

I don't know how to do this update because I don;t know how. How do I do this?

Frustrated, Charles Swank

If you are also affected by this issue, easiest way to mitigate this is to copy /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtiff.so.6 to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtiff.so.5. So you have two libtiff.so files. Only PirateWallet-Lite will use libtiff.so.5 file. When PirateWallet is fixed, remove libtiff.so.5 file from your system.

5 months on, and nothing has been done. This software is not working on Debian Stable. Fix is trivial, is there anyone working on this?
