<span dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;">I am curious if anyone has a more general solution to PPAs on debian. It is my understanding that PPAs are not something you can in general use on debian, only ubuntu derivatives. I believe many debian people nowadays opt to use flatpak, docker, and appimage for their more user-facing softwares. Although I usually avoid these because they tend to not interface very well with hardware. For example pro audio softwares like ardour simply do not operate through xdg portals currently.</span>

So installing a PPA under Debian has a few more jumps to it.

Have I mentioned how much I vastly dislike Debian?!
</div>
<div>

<div>
I think so .... but anyhoo ...

I can't seem to install this PPA repository.
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
I'm using a Raspberry Pi 4 with "Raspberry Pi OS" (formerly Raspian) -- which is secretly Debian Bookwork (Ubuntu 22.04 LTS) under the covers.
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
I'm trying to install Python3.12 and (apparently) it's not included in the main OS repositories by default, so after a bunch of Googling, I found I need a 3rd party repo called "Dead Snakes" (<i>because that sounds trustworthy</i>) ... and while the command "apt-add-repository" failed on a python error, I was able to add the line manually in "/etc/apt/sources.list.d/deadsnakes.list" --- but then I get an error about the key missing ...
</div>

<div>
This is the repo URL: <a href="https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/deadsnakes/ppa/ubuntu/dists/jammy/" target="_blank">https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/deadsnakes/ppa/ubuntu/dists/jammy/</a>
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
and on that page, I see a GPG file, which I tried (<i>probably incorrectly</i>) to install:
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
curl -fsSL <a href="https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/deadsnakes/ppa/ubuntu/dists/jammy/Release.gpg" target="_blank">https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/deadsnakes/ppa/ubuntu/dists/jammy/Release.gpg</a> | gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/deadsnakes.gpg
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
but then when I do "apt update" I get the error shown above.
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
This is infinitely easier on RedHat ... just sayin'
</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>
Anyhoo -- I appreciate the help on this. I would prefer to not compile Python from source on a Raspberry Pi, as that takes over an hour to do.
