Signal-Desktop not working with updated Eletron.

This is the error message one receives when starting Signal-Desktop from a terminal:

Error: Cannot find module '/usr/lib/signal-desktop/app.asar/node_modules/@journeyapps/sqlcipher/lib/binding/electron-v9.1-linux-x64/node_sqlite3.node'

I am sorry, I forgot to enter summary. I am unable to find a way to edit the summary now. Sorry about that.

I can confirm that I have the same issue. Downgrading to electron 9.0.5-1 fixes this so I suspect some change has been introduced to cause this or, it is a build/packaging issue.

I can't find an open issue on the electron or signal GitHub so I suspect it is this specific combination that is causing some issue (if it is indeed not a packaging issue).

Rebuilding signal-desktop fixed it for me.

This happens every time electron is updated
