I just had to do this AGAIN yesterday. I download the dotDEB file then "dpkg -i" it. It always fails due to missing dependencies. Somewhere in the failed effort, the reminder to "apt --fix-broken install" appears so that's what I do next. Yesterday it worked perfectly. Everything was done in about a minute. 60 seconds. Other times, it's a battle of going back and forth cherry picking missing dependencies from packages.debian.org then running the "dpkg -i" command on them, too, until every package is finally satisfied. I'm a-suming that yesterday's success was due to Bullseye getting ready to roll over into stable.. Maybe. Whatever the reason, yesterday was a good day for it to go that smoothly. Thank you to all who help make that happen. :) Cindy :) -- Cindy-Sue Causey Talking Rock, Pickens County, Georgia, USA * runs with birdseed *
