Just use the handy package manager GUI and ignore the noise. It will be
just like installing something on Windows that downloads the world.

I don't use it but apparently have it on the Ubuntu box.

gedit is already the newest version (41.0-3).
gedit set to manually installed.
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer
required:
  libftdi1-2 libgeos3.10.2 libhidapi-hidraw0 libqgis-3d3.22.7 libqgis-
analysis3.22.7
  libqgis-app3.22.7 libqgis-core3.22.7 libqgis-gui3.22.7 libqgis-

libsigrokcxx4
  libsigrokdecode4 pulseview sigrok-cli sigrok-firmware-fx2lafw
Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.
