[scribus] 1.5.7 Appimage won't Extract

[Owen]

I am not sure I understand exactly what you want, but;


There is a file called BUILDING in the source, in part it reads;

Install the below packages BEFORE running CMake or compiling Scribus:

Requirements:
    Qt >= 5.14.0
        Freetype >= 2.1.7 (2.3.x strongly recommended)
        cairo >= 1.14.x
        harfbuzz = > 0.9.42
        libicu
        libjpeg (depending on how Qt is packaged)
        libpng >= 1.6.0
        libtiff >= 3.6.0
        libxml2 >= 2.6.0
        LittleCMS (liblcms) >= 2.0 (2.1+ recommended)
        poppler and poppler-cpp >= 0.62.0

Recommended:
        CUPS
        Fontconfig >= 2.0
        GhostScript >= 8.0 (9.0+ or greater preferred)
        Python >= 3.6
        tkinter for the font sampler script
        python-imaging for the font sampler preview
        pkgconfig (to assist finding other libraries)
        hunspell for the spell checker
        podofo - 0.7.0+ for enhanced Illustrator AI/EPS import, svn versions
        boost and boost-devel
        GraphicksMagick++



As an aside, from my own build;

I'm trying to move my document build steps to the cloud, but I don't want to pay for a dedicated Linux instance for that.  If I can build a Docker container that runs Scribus then I think I'll be in a better overall position in the cloud.  Instead figuring out all the other Linux packages my container would need for Scribus, I thought the appimage approach would be faster.  However, I then found that appimages use FUSE, and Docker doesn't like FUSE.  The --appimage-extract-and-run option gets rid the need for FUSE, but, then I hit this extract error.
