Upgrade StorageNew installation of Zotero 7 on Linux Debian 12 that already had Zotero chrome extension
Scenario: I got a new computer, installed Linux Debian 12, and downloaded chrome, which automatically downloaded my extensions, including the Zotero chrome browser extension (maybe that matters). Now I am trying to install Zotero 7.0.11. I downloaded the tarball, unpack it, move to /opt/zotero, run set_launcher_icon, link the zotero.desktop file and then try to open zotero through the applications menu. Zotero doesn't open so I run ./zotero. Then I get the error:
XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /home/sven/Downloads/Zotero_linux-x86_64/libxul.so:
libdbus-glib-1.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Couldn't load XPCOM.
I tried deleting everything and not setting the launcher and desktop first, instead running ./zotero immediately after unpacking, but I get the same error. I also get the same error with Zotero 6.
Is there a way the chrome extension is messing with things or that trying to open through the desktop applications menu caused some issues? How can I completely undo everything and try again?

dstillmanYou likely just need to install a libdbus-glib package.
