photos-desktop amd64 deb fails to start - ente crashed with SIGTRAP

[flaki]

Description

Just installed the Ente desktop on Ubuntu 24.04 via the [amd64 .deb for version 1.7.5.

Seemingly everything went well, but after the installation I cannot launch the app, I get a "The application closed unexpectedly" dialog, telling me that "ente crashed with SIGTRAP"

When running /opt/ente/ente manually I get:

[35680:1019/203704.715228:FATAL:setuid_sandbox_host.cc(158)] The SUID sandbox helper binary was found, but is not configured correctly. Rather than run without sandboxing I'm aborting now. You need to make sure that /opt/ente/chrome-sandbox is owned by root and has mode 4755.
Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)

Checking the chrome-sandbox binary it was indeed missing the SETUID permission, sudo chmod 4755 chrome-sandbox fixed the issue and Ente Desktop launched correctly, but the install did not set the required permission and the message doesn't show when one is trying to launch the app from the desktop launcher.
