It looks like newer versions of pgmodeler are excluded from jammy [1]
because qt6-svg-dev is missing from jammy's repos. As noted in [2],
pgmodeler 1.0.2+ requires Qt 6.

qt6-svg-dev is a dependency of pgmodeler but qt6-svg-dev is not
available in jammy's repos. Running 'apt install qt6-svg-dev' results in
the error 'E: Unable to locate package qt6-svg-dev'. Looking at the
files provided by qt6-svg-dev, I suspect that the package
'libqt6svg6-dev' (which is in jammy) was renamed to 'qt6-svg-dev'. It
might be possible to build a newer version of pgmodeler for jammy using
this dependency but I believe that all packages in pgdg are (re-)built
from the same Debian source package. We would need to replace
'qt6-svg-dev' with 'libqt6svg6-dev' when building for jammy. Looking at
the generate-pgdg-source script [1], it _might_ be possible to add that
as a tweak. I can try and work on a patch for this in the next couple of
days.

Thanks for tracking that down, I didn't look closer in Jammy. The
package names on unstable were different enough from qt5...

Actually "qt6-svg-dev | libqt6svg6-dev" is easier, the
generate-pgdg-source script is only needed for weirder changes.

Pushed, build is running.

Thanks,
