Telegram-desktop unable to start

On the most recent release, Telegram-desktop won't start. I know this is part of omniverse but the reason why it's failing might impact other packages:

Code: [Select]
telegram-desktop: error while loading shared libraries: libabsl_strings.so.2111.0.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Thanks in advance!

On my system:

Code: [Select]
# p -Qs telegram-desktop
local/telegram-desktop 4.0.2-4
    Official Telegram Desktop client
# ls -l /usr/lib/libabsl_strings.so*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     27 2022-07-21 00:06:56 /usr/lib/libabsl_strings.so -> libabsl_strings.so.2206.0.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 109056 2022-07-21 00:06:56 /usr/lib/libabsl_strings.so.2206.0.0
# p -Qo /usr/lib/libabsl_strings.so
/usr/lib/libabsl_strings.so is owned by abseil-cpp 20220623.0-1
# p -Qo /usr/lib/libabsl_strings.so.2206.0.0 
/usr/lib/libabsl_strings.so.2206.0.0 is owned by abseil-cpp 20220623.0-1

So i suggest checking/reinstalling package `abseil-cpp`.

I installed it from `community` arch repo:

Code: [Select]
# p -Ss telegram-desktop
community/telegram-desktop 4.0.2-4 [installed]
    Official Telegram Desktop client

I think the problem is that the omniverse version is only on telegram 4.0.2-3, because our libabsl_strings look similar.

Use telegram-desktop from the Arch community repos.
