   My last back up was from a month ago, so pretty good there.

   You lost me with the terms flatpack and snap.  I assume they have   
   something to do with the appimages.  All I ever did with appimages is   
   download and try them.  If they worked, I kept them.  If not, deleted.   
   It's only since they all stopped working with the same error message   
   that something had to be done.   
      
   An entire system upgrade from scratch is something I can't do at this   
   point as there's not enough time.  As a last resort, if I can't find an   
   easier way to repair the appimage error issue, I will restore my system   
   from the back up when the appimages were still working, then go from   
   there.
