#596 Bug or error - Ubuntu 24.04 - Portable not working

[Robin Portigliatti]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to use veracrypt as a portable version :

$ chmod +x veracrypt-1.26.20-setup-gui-x86
# Extract .tar Package File
# I accept and agree to be bound by the license terms
# OK
# OK
# OK
$ cd /tmp
$ tar -xvf ./veracrypt_1.26.20_i386.tar.gz
$ cd /tmp/usr/bin/
$ chmod +x veracrypt
$ /tmp/usr/bin/veracrypt
-bash: /tmp/usr/bin/veracrypt: cannot execute: required file not found
$ ls -alh veracrypt
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9,4M févr.  4 22:34 veracrypt

When installing via package it works and the veracrypt binary is not the same size as the /tmp version.

$ ls -alh /usr/bin/veracrypt
-rwxrwxr-x 1 root root 12M févr.  4 17:34 veracrypt

And when I am copying and pasting the /usr/bin/veracrypt to /tmp/usr/bin/veracrypt

Executing /tmp/usr/bin/veracrypt now works.

Robin,
