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 :)
