   The linux_czkawka_gui_x86_64 file is NOT a .deb and is NOT in   
   the repository as such. That is release 10, the Synaptic has the   
   release 8 or so in .deb form. That is a "hot-off-the-press" and   
   "unvetted goods" with all the dangers entailed in such.   
      
   It's not a surprise as a result, that picking that name spells failure.   
      
   You can search on "czkawka" and as a wild card any string with that   
   as a substring should show up. There should be a reference to that   
   older package you did not like (too small preview).
