Summary0017905: libimportpdf.so fails to load on scribus 1.6.6 on macos Sonoma
DescriptionmacOS ARM64 packages for Scribus 1.6.5 and 1.6.6 bundle libidn2 built for macOS 26, causing libimportpdf.so to fail on supported macOS Sonoma 14.8.5

this will of course prevent importing PDF files
Steps To ReproduceInstall Scribus 1.6.5 or 1.6.6 on Sonoma 14.8.5 and start it up
You will then observe the popup warning
Additional InformationThe scribus website (downloads page) suggests that 1.6.6 runs on Ventura/13 and newer, so an alternate path is to change this description to accurately state what is supported.
