Unfortunately building rpi-imager is becoming extremely difficult these
days. Upstream has moved to AppImage for packaging and demands extremely
recent versions of Qt for building. In the past I've managed to patch my
way around this, but the 2.0.x series is demanding a version of Qt
beyond what even resolute currently has (6.9.3 currently).

I've managed to bump the snap package up to 1.9.6 by embedding Qt within
the build (obviously not an option for the deb), so that's probably the
simplest option on Ubuntu at this point. However, bumping the snap to
2.0.x is also proving tricky as upstream has changed how they're
handling mounts (which is a whole rant in itself).

At this point, I'm probably going to request the removal of rpi-imager
from the deb archive in resolute as it's basically impossible to
maintain in deb form.

So, your options are:

* Get 2.0.x as an AppImage direct from upstream

* Or sudo snap install rpi-imager (for 1.9.6 at the time of writing)

Sorry!
