Kicad-nightly missing images.tar.gz

I recently installed Kicad nightly, it’s got a few updates and today I’ve tried running it first time. I get a complaint that this file is missing (no such file or directory):
/usr/share/kicad-nightly/resources/images.tar.gz

resulting in no icons being displayed anywhere, everything is a ?

I use Ubuntu 20.10 Groovy release with
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kicad/kicad-dev-nightly/ubuntu/ groovy main

I don’t recall now every command I did to install kicad-nightly.

I did, and do have kicad 5.1.9 installed previously, udpdated from 5.1.8 and older versions before that.

sudo apt install kicad-nightly kicad-nightly-demos kicad-nightly-libraries kicad-nightly-packages3d kicad-nightly-symbols kicad-nightly-templates

It should be fixed in the next build

I updated today, and the buttons do seem to get images on them now. Thanks!

Indeed.
For me they’re back too. They were only gone for a day.
