Hello all,

Is there a way to install just pgadmin4-desktop on Ubuntu?

Following the instructions here:
https://www.pgadmin.org/download/pgadmin-4-apt/

It states:

# Install for both desktop and web modes:
sudo apt install pgadmin4

# Install for desktop mode only:
sudo apt install pgadmin4-desktop

# Install for web mode only:
sudo apt install pgadmin4-web

Unfortunately when I try to just install pgAdmin4-desktop as directed apt
returns the following:

The following additional packages will be installed:
pgadmin4-server
The following NEW packages will be installed:
pgadmin4-desktop pgadmin4-server

Which makes the three seemingly disparate commands:

- sudo apt install pgadmin4
- sudo apt install pgadmin4-desktop
- sudo apt install pgadmin4-web

identicle, at least when trying to install *just* the desktop portion of
pgAdmin4.

How do I install *just* pgAdmin4-desktop?

Thanks.
