Describe the bug

The modrinth-app package (downloaded from website) requires an old dependency libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37. This dependency cannot be downloaded from apt.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Make sure you are on Ubuntu version 24.04
  2. Download modrinth-app deb file, install it using dpgk and run modrinth-app in terminal, or dowload the appimage and try running it via terminal (to see console output)
  3. Observe the app not starting

Expected behavior

The app should start without those problems, or should use a newer version of this package that's available on apt.

System information

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS,
Modrinth app 0.7.1
