You've not provided your release details; I see it available for releases.. but I don't know yours for starters (nor *architecture* as I note it's not available for all architectures for some releases; but that may not be your issue)

I'd agree with skipping the *groovy* PPA add too, my duplicate link has the reason **why** it's not in *focal* (or 20.04) ... I don't use the package so have no experience with it's availability or trustworthiness of the 3rd party/PPA sources so can't comment there sorry.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
