Hello Peter,

I experienced the same thing on Linux Mint 20.3 which is based on Ubuntu 20.04 
ESR. The latest gnome-commander builds fine on Ubuntu 21.10 and per another 
post to this list will work on the Ubuntu 22.04 pre-release. I do not know of a 
way to update glib-2 on the 20.04 releases and I suspect that if it was updated 
it would break something else. I have accepted the fact that I will have to 
wait a couple of months for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS to be released and then for Mint 
to release their upgrade :-(
