SNAP 1.108.20787 fails to start: "Could not dlopen native EGL"

[hajo-m]

Describe the bug
When starting codium, it does not open up. There is no screen being show. On the terminal multiple errors regarding a missing file are reported (see attachment, linked under "screenshots"):

ERR: Display.cpp:1093 (initialize): ANGLE Display::initialize error 12289: Could not dlopen native EGL: /snap/core20/current/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.33' not found (required by /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libEGL.so.1)

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.

At least the Issue does not show up with VSC code Version 591199df from 2026-02-10, revision 223.

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

• I checked the Docs page and the Troubleshooting page and my issue is not mentioned there.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install Version 1.108.20787, revision 509 of the SNAP package on Ubuntu 25.10.:
   sudo snap install codium --revision=1.108.20787
2. Run codium /path/to/some/location/ --verbose
3. The UI does not show up, but the aforementioned Could not dlopen native EGL error can be seen multiple times on the terminal.

Expected behavior
Codium starts up and the window is shown and the error does not appear.

Screenshots
None, but I attached the console output: codium-20260212-1017-v1.108.20787.log

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Ubuntu 25.10
• Architecture: x64
• Version: 1.108.20787
• App Manager: Snap
• Sandboxed: Snap

Additional context
Window manager: Wayland

For what it worth, I can verify, that the file in question is present on my machine, but I am uncertain, whether this means anything in the context of Snap:

$ ls -la /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libEGL.so.1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Sep  5 19:48 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libEGL.so.1 -> libEGL.so.1.1.0

The error does not occur with an earlier version, in my case 1.105.17075. So running sudo snap revert codium helped me mitigating this issue.
