BugRep: failed installing steamtinkerlaunch-git

[bayazidbh]

Tried steamtinkerlaunch-git on a freshly installed Ubuntu 22.04 VM (installed using Boxes express installer, already updated). Got an error with the following message:

It does manage to install all the other required dependencies, so I managed to just manually git clone https://github.com/frostworx/steamtinkerlaunch and sudo make install. Here is the log for that:

Something wrong with the ./categories folder it seems?

Thanks for the report!

Once I get back from vacation (7-8 hours), I will fix this bug.
