When running on Fedora and including appstream metadata, the linuxdeploy appimage (indirectly?) attempts to run appstreamcli with the environment set to resolve glib from inside the appimage.
However, since it is running a binary installed by the host system, the LD_LIBRARY_PATH causes runtime linker errors for the glib symbols referenced by appstreamcli.
It would be great to resolve this correctly; I'd suggest either making sure that the plugin cleans the environment first, or alternatively, by bundling the needed utilities in the linuxdeploy appimage and running them from there.
