Describe the Bug

Dear Developers and Artists,

Thank you for the marvel you do...


After installing the Debian package version v2025.924.154138/sunshine-ubuntu-24.04-amd64.deb, the following libraries were missing:

$ ldd /usr/bin/sunshine | grep 'not found';
        libminiupnpc.so.17 => not found
        libicuuc.so.74 => not found

A manual installation in the latest distribution Kubuntu 25.10 installed more modern versions:

$ sudo apt search '.*upnpc.*';
# ...
libminiupnpc-dev/questing,now 2.2.8-2build2 amd64 [installed]
  UPnP IGD client lightweight library development files
# ...
libminiupnpc18/questing,now 2.2.8-2build2 amd64 [installed]
  UPnP IGD client lightweight library
# ...
miniupnpc/questing,now 2.2.8-2build2 amd64 [installed,automatic]
  UPnP IGD client lightweight library client
# ...

$ sudo apt search '.*libicu.*';
# ...
libicu76/questing,now 76.1-4ubuntu2 amd64 [installed,automatic]
  International Components for Unicode
# ...

So, we have libminiupnpc.18 and libicuuc.so.76.

This, in turn, results in the errors:

# ...
sunshine: error while loading shared libraries: libminiupnpc.so.17: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
# ...
sunshine: error while loading shared libraries: libicuuc.so.74: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Best and kind regards

Expected Behavior

Install valid versions of the libraries.

Additional Context

The current solution is to either use LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to libraries downloaded, or similar approach, or install the required versions manually:

$ wget -- 'http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/m/miniupnpc/libminiupnpc17_2.2.3-1build1_amd64.deb' &&
sudo dpkg -i './libminiupnpc17_2.2.3-1build1_amd64.deb';

$ wget -- 'http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/i/icu/libicu74_74.2-1ubuntu3.1_amd64.deb' &&
sudo dpkg -i './libicu74_74.2-1ubuntu3.1_amd64.deb';

$ ldd -- '/usr/bin/sunshine' | grep 'mini\|cuuc';
        libminiupnpc.so.17 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libminiupnpc.so.17 (0x000073d57a6fe000)
        libicuuc.so.74 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libicuuc.so.74 (0x000073d577400000)
