Hello.

In running Linux Mint 21.1,  which uses the Ubuntu 22.04 repositories, 
and, wanting to open a downloadable spreadsheet in gnumeric, and, 
finding that I do not have it installed, thence, searching for gnumeric, 
using synaptic, the results returned, include
gir1.2-gnumeric
gnumeric-common
gnumeric-doc
gnumeric-plugins-extra

but, not gnumeric itself.

At
http://www.gnumeric.org/download.html
is

"Linux, BSD, etc.

The preferred way for non-technical users to obtain Gnumeric is from 
(Linux, etc.) distributions. Use your distribution's standard installers 
to install Gnumeric and all its dependencies."

But, as synaptic does not show gnumeric itself, as being available - 
only add-ons or dependencies, I am wondering whether Ubuntu Linux has 
abandoned gnumeric.

The repositories that I have, for this installation, are shown below.
