AppImage lacks needed dependency

[probonopd]

Expected behavior

An AppImage is supposed to have no dependencies other than what can reasonably be expected to come with all target systems in their default installation.

Actual behavior

Steps to reproduce the problem

1. Download the AppImage on a machine with no Cate-related software installed
2. Run it

Specifications

The latest AppImage on Ubuntu 14.04

Reference:
AppImage/appimage.github.io#340

Just FYI,, @probonopd: This "Cate Core" thingie is a Tarball about 600 MByte worth of Bytes....

That makes it a great candidate for AppImageUpdate binary delta updates actually - so it should definitely be included in the AppImage.

"That makes it a great candidate for AppImageUpdate binary delta updates actually - so it should definitely be included in the AppImage."

Maybe that also makes it a great candidate to create an example Cate-Desktop-Complete.AppImage for CCI-Tools which they could accept as a pull request?

Sounds good, we are looking forward receiving a PR or any other support!

We now install / update dependencies auto-magically.

By this you mean you are putting them inside the AppImage? Then "bundling" is a better word than "install/update".

Or does the AppImage now try to "install/update" things on the user's system?

The former would be strongly preferred, because it would be in line with the AppImage philosophy of "one app = one file, no need to install, no dependencies other than what comes with the target system in the default installation".

The latter is strongly discouraged.

An AppImage is supposed to be standalone, i.e., need nothing else than what comes with the target systems by default. Everything else needs to be bundled inside the AppImage.

Can you already foresee when will it be that there's an AppImage available with that change?
