Did you try to recompile waybox?
libxml2 had a big update and all packages that needs this required a rebuild.

Is that from the AppImage? It's badly made, as I really didn't understand how AppImages worked back then. If I ever get around to getting the stuff I want for 0.3.0 done, I'll make a better one that actually sets the LD_LIBRARY_PATH correctly (it's not automatic but has to be done in AppRun, which in the current AppImage is just a symlink instead of a proper script that sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH).

BTW, libxml2 2.14 has libxml2.so.16. I have both 2.14.3 and 2.13.8 installed concurrently (2.14.3 to compile new stuff, 2.13.8 to run the old stuff that requires libxml2.so.2, sparing me from recompiling everything that requires libxml2.so.2).
