Thanks, that indeed was the issue. I don’t recall having installed them because it was a long time ago. Those libs date from Jul 11, 2022. Doing what @Stefan-Olt did fix it for me. I removed manually all those outdated libs.
Here is the magic, if someone wants to copy and paste.
probably. in the past I was testing some things with wxwidgets and I may have compiled it myself since the current version at that time was not working or it was missing.
This file /usr/share/applications/kicad.desktop is a symlink. You can delete it, and one of the Kicad icons will disappear. This is a workaround while they don’t fix it.
Maybe your dog did it? Were there any pawprints on your keyboard around that time? Does the dog avoid your eyes and have a guilty look when it hears the sounds “key cat bug”?
Seriously though, be careful with shared libraries. Installing your own may solve immediate problems but can stuff you up down the line.

Nah. I do whatever it takes to run whatever I want to run… computer serves me, not the other way around. If it is complaining a lot, I format it and that’s it. I don’t have animals. =)
There are ways of installing a shared library so that its scope is limited to the application you are trying to run, taking advantage of LD_LIBRARY_PATH. But that’s another rabbit hole.
yeah, I just use the first thing that works for me since my goal is not to improve the installation but use that thing to do something else. anyways, thanks for your help. it is working flawlessly now.
