I am not aware that it ever existed. So I install the needed meat to make
it work, via a card reader and the non-compressed tarball is just under
30 megs. apt sees it, leaves it alone. So its pinned 6 other packages
for about 20 months now.
Link to how to docs? I ought to check out something newer than 4.19.xx
Thanks Lennart. Take care & stay well.
