[SOLVED]Not able to install AppImage

Hi,

I am trying to install AppImage, but getting the error.
Vial was working until few days ago. Also I have another desktop with the same configuration and I have no issues there.
I verified all installed packages on both desktops and did not find any difference.

Please use code tags when posting terminal output.

https://bbs.archlinux.org/help.php#bbcode

What filesystem are you building on, and how is it mounted?

findmnt -T /home/alex/.cache/yay

Thanks, I will read how to output terminal code next time I posting something.
This is Archlinux, installed around 3 - 4 years ago.

Re: [SOLVED]Not able to install AppImage

When was the last time you did a full system update?

Re: [SOLVED]Not able to install AppImage

When was the last time you did a full system update?

I do all packages updates every day for pacman and  aur.
And like I said I have identical installation where this issue does not exist.
I am not even able to extract it.

# ./Vial-v0.7.1-x86_64.AppImage --appimage-extract
-bash: ./Vial-v0.7.1-x86_64.AppImage: cannot execute: required file not found

Command was

 yay -S Vial 

It did not download file,because it was already downloaded.
I just rebooted PC and problem was resolved.
Thanks everyone for help.
