the installation packages are referenced as SoapySDR-Server when the package is named soapyremote-server in the ubuntu repository

apt info soapysdr-server
N: Unable to locate package soapysdr-server

I think the alias isn't working properly somehow in ubuntu 22.04 for the service. I had to use soapyremote-server.service instead.

user@host:/lib/systemd/system$ sudo systemctl start SoapySDRServer.service
user@host:/lib/systemd/system$ sudo systemctl enable SoapySDRServer.service
Failed to enable unit: Refusing to operate on alias name or linked unit file: SoapySDRServer.service
