Describe the bug

"Delete this AppImage" and "Update this AppImage" in context menu does not work. Manual run the update in desktop file, output:

/opt/appimagelauncher.AppDir/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/appimagelauncher/update: error while loading shared libraries: libQt5QuickWidgets.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Steps to reproduce the issue

> /opt/appimagelauncher.AppDir/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/appimagelauncher/update "a.appimage"
/opt/appimagelauncher.AppDir/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/appimagelauncher/update: error while loading shared libraries: libQt5QuickWidgets.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
> ldd /opt/appimagelauncher.AppDir/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/appimagelauncher/update 
	linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007f77457d3000)
	libappimageupdate-qt.so => /opt/appimagelauncher.AppDir/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/appimagelauncher/libappimageupdate-qt.so (0x00007f774577b000)
	libQt5QuickWidgets.so.5 => not found
...

> ll /opt/appimagelauncher.AppDir/usr/bin/../lib/libQt5QuickWidgets.so.5

/opt/appimagelauncher.AppDir/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/appimagelauncher/update: error while loading shared libraries: libQt5QuickWidgets.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

If I install "libqt5quickwidgets5" by apt, It won't make that mistake again.


The next error is the same as #748 , which can be run temporarily by link (No discussion here for the time being).
