Installs fine here on your platform with the current release.

It looks to me like you may have issues ( not related to deb-get ) causing your "hang". Can you successfully install the deb from their site directly ? (using their apt repo or downloading and apt install-ing the .deb )

[philclifford]

BTW you should not sudo deb-get : deb-get will seek elevated privileges as and when required

yes I use curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wimpysworld/deb-get/main/deb-get | sudo -E bash -s install deb-get to get the deb directly. But, usually I use sudo deb-get to get the other packages. But, only this one is freezing. That is strange (FYI, I use deb-get install softmaker-office-2021 and it works)
