It might be worth posting the details here:

Maybe this could be solved with a relative RPATH at link time or an
LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. Not sure what is common for
AppImage.

This typo has now been fixed in the current development version and will
also be part of the next 3.0.3 release.

In the future, feel free to submit patches to
https://code.wireshark.org/review/, see also
https://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChSrcContribute.html

If you are interested in AppImage support, help is always appreciated :)

Kind regards,
Peter
