@attila : I re-installed digilent.adept.runtime_2.26.1-amd64.deb but still get the error
OSError: /usr/lib/libdwf.so: undefined symbol: DmgrIsClientAuthenticationEnabled
Running as sudo eliminates the error, but is obviously a security risk.
Update: The problem was that /usr/lib64 had restricted permissions. The fix was:
sudo chmod a+r /usr/lib64
