Nagstamon clashes with 'resources' on gnome 50

[GaardenZwerch]

Hi,
on a vanilla Ubuntu 26.04, nagstamon (3.6.2) refuses to start because there is a binary /usr/bin/resources.
nagstamon thinks that this should be a directory, if it exists.
When I remove the binary, nagstamon starts fine.

Thx

Hi there - did you really use Nagstamon 3.6.2? Please try at least the latest stable 3.18.2.

Anyway, funny observation about the resources - looks like there should be a better check for the resources path.

Sorry, typo, I use 3.16.2 which is in the Ubuntu 26.04 repositories.

This is 3.16.2 started from the command-line:
