Also, this is why I can’t wait for deb, rpm, .run or .bin formats to die, at least for applications. If Resolve was a Flatpak, a Snap or an Appimage, it would have had no issues surviving the upgrade. It would have come with the versions it needs. It would install and run on any distro without additional packages to install manually.
App Developers: use these new formats, you’ll do yourself, and your users a favor.
