Installation failing in Ubuntu 23.10.1

following is the log

sudo apt install ./Downloads/tabby-1.0.205-linux-x64.deb 
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
Note, selecting 'tabby-terminal' instead of './Downloads/tabby-1.0.205-linux-x64.deb'
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 tabby-terminal : Depends: gconf2 but it is not installable
                  Depends: gconf-service but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

To Reproduce:
Try to install in a fresh installation of ubuntu 23.10.1 (Tabby ver: abby-1.0.205-linux-x64.deb)

FYI: After googling found this: https://www.reddit.com/r/Kalilinux/comments/15rxyir/unable_to_install_gconf2/
Somebody is saying that this package (gconf2) is gone & apps using htis need to be updated.

I'll test this & let know, Even it works now it's a workaround. Is there any plan to remove this dependency?

Installation of gconf2 conflicts with other packages. Please get rid of this package from dependency. It's better to leave dead things instead fighting for it to work.

You can find the instructions to retrieve (from the debian ftp server) and install the missing librairies with dpkg.
