Installation fails on Debian Trixie with DEB packages due to no longer shipping software-properties-common

When attempting to install Community Server on Debian Trixie, install fails with the following error:

Unable to locate package software-properties-common

software-properties-common is not shipping in Debian Trixie, only Bookworm and older, and Sid.

Hello, we don't support testing builds of operating systems, only stable versions. You can deploy Community Server on the stable version of Debian 12.

Irrelevant, Trixie has been stable since 9 August 2025.

Yes, indeed, Debian 13 has been released with long-term support. Our specialists are already adding deployment capabilities for it, and you will be able to deploy Community server on Debian 13 after the next update.
