Error trying to install espanso on kubuntu 23.10, missing dependencies

[zipfile6209]

Describe the bug
Cannot install espanso due to missing dependencies.

To Reproduce
In kubuntu (and I guess in ubuntu), try to install espanso in .deb format, either for x11 or for wayland.

Expected behavior
Installation done.

Logs
These dependencies were reported as not installable:
libwxbase3.0-0v5 (>= 3.0.4+dfsg)
libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-0v5 (>= 3.0.4+dfsg)
libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-0v5

Setup information

• OS: Kubuntu 23.10, freshly installed (and updated) on a VM.
• Version: I tried it with the latest available, 2.1.8

PS: If I may take the opportunity to ask a question, assuming it is possible, would it be a bad idea to install the version for x11 and wayland at the same time?

I also tried all the available installation candidates for the missing dependencies without success.

Installing the AppImage following the installation instructions worked.

Same problem on Ubuntu 23.10 (wayland).

Also tried installing libwxbase3.2-1 and libwxgtk3.2-1 but it didn't work.

Also tried installing libwxbase3.2-1 and libwxgtk3.2-1 but it didn't work.

I tried this too in Debian 12, but it didn't work either. I guess the AppImage is the solution for now.

Closing in favor of #1793 which has a lot of more information
