   I owe you an apology, Lawrence -- it seems Ubuntu noble is based on a   
   version of trixie, then they freeze it for their own purposes.   
      
   I humbly abase myself.  You were right.   
      
   _However_, I'm astonished that none of the debian download mirrors   
   seem to support encryption.  Sure, the give the sha256sum on the   
   web site, but still, adding TLS is fairly easy nowadays.   
      
   Anyway, I tried installing it:   
      
   $ sudo dpkg -i qdiskinfo_0.3+git20250416+ds-1_amd64.deb   
   Selecting previously unselected package qdiskinfo.   
   (Reading database ... 1688860 files and directories currently installed.)   
   Preparing to unpack qdiskinfo_0.3+git20250416+ds-1_amd64.deb ...   
   Unpacking qdiskinfo (0.3+git20250416+ds-1) ...   
   dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of qdiskinfo:   
    qdiskinfo depends on libqt6core6t64 (>= 6.8.2); however:   
     Version of libqt6core6t64:amd64 on system is 6.4.2+dfsg-21.1build5.   
      
   dpkg: error processing package qdiskinfo (--install):

    ...so unless you turn your system into a frankensystem,   
   you'll have to wait.   
      
   (And honestly, coming across this case has me thinking about   
   trying LMDE...)
