No i just happened to already have master on the Deb12 VM so i removed it
and changed to stable.

I just tried on a fresh Deb12 docker and noticed one problem..
using the details from the wiki page
https://gambaswiki.org/wiki/doc/packages#t5

echo \'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/gambas:/stable/Debian_12/
/\' | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/home:gambas:stable.list


 my source list entry then looked like this... (with the single quotes)

'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/gambas:/stable/Debian_12/
/'

I had to edit the file and remove the 'single quotes'

Now it is installing
