Please test if the latest release did solve this. If not please reopen the issue or create a new one and tell us. I will be closing this one for now.

Thank you!

The problem is still unsolved with the latest release:

@jeanfbrito Can you reopen this issue? It looks like I can't.

[jeanfbrito]

Yes, and I will take a look on this.

Interesting! I found out the Rocket.Chat package from FlatHub seems packaged properly:

You find this in "Ubuntu Software" when – you have FlatHub and FlatHub integration installed, and – you search for "rocket".

Also the Snap has a free license (that can be recognized) configured in the package information:

Maybe you can align with the maintainers of those packages?

I will take a look in the .deb packaging. Maybe there is a problem on the builder.
