FreePBX Version
FreePBX 17
Issue Description
Debian 13 has dropped distribution of the "software-properties-common" package and without user intervention to manually install it the script fails to install FreePBX. Based on a similar issue with another project it seems fixing the root cause of the package being dropped is not likely to be quickly fixed.
Operating Environment
Kernel: 6.12.41+deb13-amd64
FreePBX Version: 17
