Issue
While following 'Installing the nRF Connect SDK' I ran into below issue. I have set-up Zephyr SDK 0.16.1, and I've installed all the basic requirements in the installation guide.:
jwielink@ConnectON:~/ncs> nrfutil toolchain-manager launch --shell
Initializing shell environment!
bash-5.2$ west init -m https://github.com/nrfconnect/sdk-nrf --mr v2.5.1
=== Initializing in /home/jwielink/ncs
--- Cloning manifest repository from https://github.com/nrfconnect/sdk-nrf, rev. v2.5.1
Cloning into '/home/jwielink/ncs/.west/manifest-tmp'...
/home/jwielink/ncs/toolchains/7795df4459/usr/local/libexec/git-core/git-remote-https: error while loading shared libraries: libunistring.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
FATAL ERROR: command exited with status 128: git clone --branch v2.5.1 https://github.com/nrfconnect/sdk-nrf /home/jwielink/ncs/.west/manifest-tmp
bash-5.2$
I'm on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.
I've attempted to resolve it by adding the library to my LD_LIBRARY_PATH, to no avail:
Initializing shell environment!
bash-5.2$ sudo find / -name libunistring.so.2
find: File system loop detected; ‘/.snapshots/1/snapshot’ is part of the same file system loop as ‘/’.

bash-5.2$
Still running into the same issue.
Edit: Worked-around by not using the tool-manager shell, but if anyone happens to know why this is happening, I’d still be interested in knowing.
Solution
Ok I'm not sure what is going on.
But I've just decided to not use the toolchain-manager:
source ~/zephyrproject/.venv/bin/activate
rm -r .west
west init -m https://github.com/nrfconnect/sdk-nrf --mr v2.5.1
For anyone who hasn't set-up the Zephyr project yet: https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/develop/getting_started/index.html
