Symbolic link to an extracted AppImage fails #303

I am using an AppImage from the Geeqie project, created using linuxdeploy and the gtk plugin:
https://github.com/BestImageViewer/geeqie

The AppImage is downloaded to:
$HOME/bin
and extracted to:
$HOME/bin/Geeqie-latest-x86_64-AppImage/
and a symbolic link created:
ln -s $HOME/bin/Geeqie-latest-x86_64-AppImage/squashfs-root/AppRun $HOME/bin/geeqie

Calling geeqie gives the error:
home/cclark/bin/geeqie: line 10: /home/cclark/bin/apprun-hooks/linuxdeploy-plugin-gtk.sh: No such file or directory

Is it possible to use a symbolic link in this way?

It should be. Please re-run the AppRun entrypoint script with bash -x and provide the output.

From $HOME/bin, running:
bash -x ./Geeqie-latest-x86_64-AppImage/squashfs-root/AppRun

gives the output in the attached file.
