downloaded the deb but apt-get dpkg install fails with dependencies. attempting to fix with -f simply results in package being removed. The package concerned is politky and does not seem to be available for ubuntu. Thus i am stuck and I would like to bring this 32 care threadripper onto fah as i am migrating from rosetta whixh seems to have died.

have just found this potential solution re kubuntu and will try:
$ mkdir -p newfah/DEBIAN
$ dpkg -x fah-client_8.4.9_amd64.deb newfah
$ dpkg -e fah-client_8.4.9_amd64.deb newfah/DEBIAN
$ sed -i 's/polkitd-pkla | policykit-1 (<< 0.106), //' newfah/DEBIAN/control
$ dpkg -b newfah newfah.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i newfah.deb

pleased to confirm that rebuilding the deb by stripping out the polkitd and adjusting the path to the correct location fah built properly and was instated and launched via systemstatus
