[George Lobay]

MX-Linux MX-23.3; Debian 12.5; Desktp xfce v: 4.18.1

The version that works fine is natively installed and is Version: 4.13, 
Build ID: 4.13+(2022-12-17), Finance::Quote: 1.54

The version that freezes when attempting to link a file is a Flatpak 
installation and is  Version: 5.6, Build ID: Flathub 5.6-2,
