As the dependency software-properties-common has been removed in Debian Trixie (13), I suggest adjusting the requirement accordingly.

This fixes #131.

Hi,

Thanks, sorry I was out of the country for about 3 weeks. Once I catch up, I'll review this.

One thing that's worth testing would be to see if Docker can be installed and runs without software-properties-common on Debian 12, Ubuntu 24.04 and Ubuntu 22.04. If it works, we can remove it.

I had added this eons ago because it was at some point in Docker's installation guide and / or script.

I'll test all of this over the weekend btw. Just didn't want to leave you hanging and if you happen to test the above before then feel free to drop in your results here!

Well, this is good news.

I tested Ubuntu 22.04 / 24.04 and Debian 12 / 13 without installing this package. In all cases this role installed Docker without an issue. I was able to run containers and run docker info without issues.

We can drop the dependency. I'll do that and also tag this role as officially supported for Debian 13.

Thanks for the help!
