Research direction

Start by locating how the project builds and packages its Linux binary, then check the build environment and documented Ubuntu support. Reproduce the reported failure on Ubuntu 22.04 with version 0.35.1 and compare the binary’s GLIBC requirement with the supported runtime. Done means the packaged binary loads on the supported Ubuntu version or the compatibility requirement is clearly documented.

Description

Long time etesync "cloud" subscriber. The last day or three** have been having connectivity issues. Realized my binary on ubuntu was quite out of date***, so upgraded to latest ... the local server fails to load with the following

[PYI-2590950:ERROR] Failed to load Python shared library '/tmp/_MEIJc1hWP/libpython3.10.so.1.0': /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.38' not found (required by /tmp/_MEIJc1hWP/libpython3.10.so.1.0)

I'm on ubuntu 22.04 - still well supported, but presumably less common than 24.04 etc. As such, running this in a 24.04 container would seem to be a viable alternative - but i can't find any docs on how to point that directly to my local config ./.local/share/etesync-dav and am hoping not to go down a rabbit hole there :)

** side note: this is suspicious timing w.r.t. the AWS outtage - but several days after resolution if there is something amiss here I'd think I'd see mention of it somewhere ... the reddit sub is long-dead, is there any other channel besides bugs where etesync is discussed actively?

*** I don't think it's indicated that my old build, 0.31.2, is the cause, as my other non-ubuntu devices are also failing to sync. I use two android (using latest fdroid release, which note is a year old at this point), and one linux desktop (this issue) and none seem to have synced in at least a couple days; looking at https://pim.etesync.com no updates or newly created events have been synced to the cloud either.
