this sounds like a really good way to mess up a system.
google had the answer as the top result. no idea if it

Hi Songbird,
Thanks for your message.
The page you point to is in fact on the site where i downloaded zoom from (in response to a link on a google calendar entry).
It did have enough information for me to install zoom, with a few workarounds. So thanks for providing the link to this page.
The main point is that gdebi needs to be used instead of plasma-discover. Presumably my system only offered plasma-discover because that's all i had at the time. I could not use the directions literally, but was able to used the command line version of gdebi to get the package installed.
