I have a need to run apt-get-repository to get a debugging tool from my

Or perhaps its in another package?

Pointers appreciated.

I think you are thinking of the command “add-apt-repository”.  And no, it isn’t packaged for Fedora.  Looking at the Debian control file [1], it has a lot of dependencies on other Debian core packages that would probably make it a pain to package for Fedora.

1. https://sources.debian.org/src/software-properties/0.96.20.2-2.1/debian/control/

You might be better off using podman and a Debian container.
