Output from /usr/local/bin/zeal (I had also tried /usr/bin/zeal after the appropriate mv command yet still have this error):

zeal: symbol lookup error: /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgobject-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g_bookmark_file_copy

I am also a hardcore Linux developer so I would like to retain access to my Zeal programming-documentation while I install newer GCC and related package versions as necessary.

What I was expecting to happen:

The Zeal application opens successfully and without issue. This application is even designed for such usecases anyway!

Result from uname -a:

Linux ubuntu-macbookpro 6.5.0-26-generic #26~22.04.1-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Tue Mar 12 10:22:43 UTC 2 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Zeal and dependencies are provided by your distribution (Ubuntu in this case), there is nothing application developers can do. If after full update the issue persists, you can file bug report with Ubuntu or Debian package owners. Or you can use AppImage/Flatpak packages, which for the most part do not depend on system libraries. Another option would be building Zeal yourself.

Upgrading/reinstalling Zeal does not affect installed docsets.
