Critical (Install) Latest version of the binary package for balena etcher, sys-boot/etcher-bin, fails to compile on my next machine. Compiled using the default USE flags on an AMD Zen2, xfce, nvidia system. Build output below:

Problems seems to be that the developers have changed the name of the application from balena-etcher-electron to balena-etcher. Turns out 2 changes are actually needed for it to compile and function again. **
First is to change the desktop file under files/etcher.desktop like this
-Icon=balena-etcher-electron +Icon=balena-etcher
and the second is to change the ebuild template like this
-MY_EXEC="balena-${MY_PN}-electron" +MY_EXEC="balena-${MY_PN}"
Generating and merging the ebuild locally with these changes fixes the issue
