I'm trying to download a .deb package for a game called Endless Sky from the site debian.pkgs.org. Here's the link to the package:
https://debian.pkgs.org/sid/debian-main-amd64/endless-sky_0.10.16-2_amd64.deb.html
I followed the installation instructions:
1. Updated the package index by running: `sudo apt-get update`
2. Tried to install the Endless Sky package with: `sudo apt-get install endless-sky`
However, I got a message stating that there is no installation candidate. Can anyone explain why this might be happening? I specifically want the .deb package instead of using Flatpaks.

Are you on the Sid version of Debian or Trixie? It seems like Endless Sky isn't available in the Trixie repositories. If you're not on Sid, you might face issues trying to install it from there. You might want to check the package status on the Debian packages site.
I'm actually using Mint, which is based on Debian as well. Do you think that affects my ability to install the package?
