Swarm Desktop with Bee 1.17.2 does not start

Context

Bee version 1.17.2 Swarm Desktop 0.28.0 OS: Linux

Summary

I upgraded to the latest Desktop version (0.28.0) because there was a notification about a new version. There was a panic first (see at the end), but I built the latest master (1.17.2-551d16d5) and then I got different errors:

Following the suggestion of @ldeffenb, I changed the use-postage-snapshot to false and the node started. Previously I had Bee 1.16 and it worked with the same config file.

Expected behavior

Ideally it would be good if the released version would not panic. Also it is worth considering the default value for the use-postage-snapshot for light nodes.

Panic logs:

panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference
[signal SIGSEGV: segmentation violation code=0x1 addr=0x58 pc=0xf9876a]
