what were you trying to do? what commands where used? : trying to upgrade my sampctl (apt-get install sampctl.deb)
I am using Ubuntu 22.04.5 amd64

In this case try using dpkg instead. dpkg -i ./sampctl.deb.

I can't say that I have ever used the apt-get install. for a deb file, and while I do know it's possible, I've known it to sometimes break and require you doing apt-get install -f to fix broken dependencies.
