But coming from Fedora, I guess that you are familiar with UN*X. there is a method to create packages from a PPA. I have not tried it but this may work: https://wiki.debian.org/CreatePackageFromPPA I would forget synpatic and use the command interface tools: aptidute(1), or better apt(1) (along sudo or as root). I am not a fan of graphical interfaces. Synaptic should work, it is a great tool. as mentioned above check `/etc/apt/sources.list.d' Thanks Das

Newcomer Problem: Synaptic
Hello Friends: I am using Debian for four or five days only and obviously I did something stupide while installing and trying to learn the system. When I am using Synaptic can clicking 'update', it is giving me this error message << GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net/libreoffice/ppa/ubuntu focal InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 83FBA1751378B444The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/libreoffice/ppa/ubuntu focal InRelease' is not signed. >> How to solve it?
