you should have looked at the repos

maybe a better option for all the debian based distros are one of the Applications PPA's (https://launchpad.net/~rncbc)

eg. "Applications (focal)"; add this line to the apt sources.list

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/rncbc/apps-focal/ubuntu focal main

then run:

sudo apt-get update

probably it will complain about a missing signing key; as of this date the signing key ID is 74407499CD30F338; you may now grab it from the ubuntu server and add to your key-ring, like this:

sudo gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 74407499CD30F338
sudo gpg -a --export 74407499CD30F338 | sudo apt-key add -
sudo gpg -a --export 74407499CD30F338 | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/ppa-rncbc.asc

you might get an "apt-key is deprecated" warning but you may ignore that for now; you can finally run again:

sudo apt-get update

and from now on you'll get all the updates of yours truly qstuff* (including qtractor, ofc.) ;)

nb. note that I am no debian expert whatsoever; some debian purists will say that the above will turn your system into a frankendebian; so please go at your own risk ;) just comment out or remove the sources.list line added a above, if and when you feel it's enough ;)

hth.
cheers

EDIT: removed old apt-key deprecation warnings.
