appimaged is broken #77
Description
As of
appimaged, continuous build (commit 2e34378), build 108 built on 2019-03-14 17:43:20 UTC
on xubuntu-18.04-desktop-amd64.iso
appimaged is currently so broken that if the issues don't resolve i will be forced to revert to pre-libappimage state two weeks from now, May 19. I am really annoyed that appimaged is deteriorating. It was a working, relative simple tool with few dependencies. Now it needs libappimage and seemingly the result is worse than before. Sorry if I sound harsh today, but appimaged is what I use every day and I cannot tolerate it being broken any longer.

I am not entirely sure in all cases whether the issue is in libappimage or appimaged or the combination of the two, but since nothing substantial has changed in appimaged and these issues have not been there before, I am boldly assuming that libappimage has some part in those issues.
