Description
There are two problems appeared at once. Tell me if I should split the issue. Both contribute to the fact that recent update of Qt Creator via installer broke the installation.
First, the installer created a new .desktop file, which uses relative paths assuming that qtcreator should exist in PATH. I don't understand how that is a reasonable assumption. Installer should hard-wire paths (and maybe even rpath for binaries). And of course my PATH environment wasn't modified to contain "/opt/Qt/Tools/...etc..." directory.
So, instead of using the desktop file at /opt/Qt/Tools/QtCreator/share/applications/org.qt-project.qtcreator.desktop, I looked at my local share dir (somehow I remembered I saw there a Qt Creator's icon some timebefore, which is strange to have such a duplicate; but — whatever works, right?). Unlike the file in /opt, the desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications/ contained an absolute path in Exec line:
Exec="/opt/Qt/Tools/QtCreator/bin/qtcreator" %F
But when I tried to launch it manually (in terminal), I got this error:
❯ ls -lh /opt/Qt/Tools/QtCreator/bin/qtcreator

What was that about backward and forward binary compatibility between minor releases, by the way?
