Please RELEASE support for Ubuntu Oracular 24.10

[KlfJoat]

Reporting a bug 🐛

Issue #1185 says that PR #1189 adds support for Oracular 24.10. But I still get an error that it is not supported.

It appears that #1189 was committed on 10-15 and actually approved only 2 days later. Nice speed.

But the latest release DEB was built on 09-30.

IMO #1185 is not actually complete until it's available to users (unless you have it connected to a Milestone).

So when will we have support for Ubuntu 24.10? I can't update DEBs for any software managed by deb-get.

Expected behavior

deb-get supports the latest released version of Ubuntu, as it has done for the last year or two.

Actual behavior

A month after release (10-10 to 11-20), deb-get does not yet support the latest released version of Ubuntu, Oracular (24.10).

Steps to reproduce

1. Have deb-get installed for the last year or two.
2. Upgrade host to the latest Ubuntu release during that time.
3. Upgrade host to Ubuntu Oracular 24.10.
4. Run any deb-get command.

$ deb-get --help

Agreed. While a newer release of deb-get is not available, 24.10 Ubuntu users cannot use it :(

I'm afraid it has not been fixed.

1 $ deb-get upgrade

You may have finally released the update in a .deb hosted on GitHub. But my local deb-get does not update.
