Hello.

Thank you for that. I have downloaded the file.

Now, I have to figure out how to backup the databases that I have, and, 
once that is done, I will install it.

I was not aware of that version being available for Ubuntu 22.04 .

Is anything like a ppa available, that could apply to updates like this, 
to simplify updating for OS versions earlier than the latest version?
