"no version information available" error when running dpkg in vscodium terminal when using the vscodium appimage #2625

Description

@DetachHead

Describe the bug
when using the vscodium appimage, certain commands like dpkg don't work:

$ dpkg
dpkg: /tmp/.mount_vscodiVPJEDG/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libselinux.so.1: no version information available (required by dpkg)
dpkg: symbol lookup error: dpkg: undefined symbol: setexecfilecon, version LIBSELINUX_1.0

Please confirm that this problem is VSCodium-specific

  • This bug doesn't happen if I use Microsoft's Visual Studio Code. It only happens in VSCodium.

note that since vscode has no official appimage release, i tested it with https://github.com/valicm/VSCode-AppImage and this issue does not occur in that version

Please confirm that the issue/resolution isn't already documented

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. download and run the vscodium appimage
  2. open a new terminal and run dpkg

Expected behavior

$ dpkg
dpkg: error: need an action option

Type dpkg --help for help about installing and deinstalling packages [*];
Use 'apt' or 'aptitude' for user-friendly package management;
Type dpkg -Dhelp for a list of dpkg debug flag values;
Type dpkg --force-help for a list of forcing options;
Type dpkg-deb --help for help about manipulating *.deb files;

Options marked [*] produce a lot of output - pipe it through 'less' or 'more' !
