Thanks, it's installed.  Hopefully it's enough the next time I need it.  BTW
it was in the package  "cpufrequtils".

I got a warning "W: Download is performed unsandboxed as root as file
'/root/.synaptic/tmp//tmp_sh' couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. -
pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied)"

And while that file is readable by non-root users, none of the directories
leading up to it are.  I don't think that should be a problem if you know
what you're looking for:

eben@cerberus:~$ sudo ls -ld /root/.synaptic/tmp/tmp_sh /root/.synaptic/tmp
/root/.synaptic /root
drwx------ 9 root root   4096 Oct 23 16:58 /root
drwx------ 4 root root   4096 Oct 23 17:00 /root/.synaptic
drwx------ 2 root root   4096 Oct 23 16:59 /root/.synaptic/tmp
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 283682 Sep 23  2021 /root/.synaptic/tmp/tmp_sh


What's the problem here?
