apt ppa not working for Ubuntu noble derivative Mint 22.1

qBittorrent & operating system versions

Current qBittorrent: v4.6.7

cat /etc/os-release
NAME="Linux Mint"
VERSION="22.1 (Xia)"
ID=linuxmint
ID_LIKE="ubuntu debian"
PRETTY_NAME="Linux Mint 22.1"
VERSION_ID="22.1"

VERSION_CODENAME=xia
UBUNTU_CODENAME=noble

What is the problem?

The Linux Mint 22.1 OS derivative of Ubuntu 24.04 does not install the latest qbittorrent 5.0.3, and stays stuck on qbittorent 4.6.7 when using the official PPA's.

Steps to reproduce

Go to https://www.qbittorrent.org/download.

Select Linux, then Ubuntu. Use the PPA command on Linux Mint 22.1 Xia (Ubuntu 24.04 base):

qBittorrent Stable

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:qbittorrent-team/qbittorrent-stable
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install qbittorrent

Additional context

It looks like the PPA might be looking only at the VERSION_CODENAME from the /etc/os-release, and not seeing the expected noble. Maybe add a secondary check for UBUNTU_CODENAME to cover Ubuntu derivatives?

Log(s) & preferences file(s)

cat qbittorrent-team-qbittorrent-stable-noble.list
deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/qbittorrent-team-qbittorrent-stable-noble.gpg] https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/qbittorrent-team/qbittorrent-stable/ubuntu noble main

I also tried the unstable PPA, with the same result:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:qbittorrent-team/qbittorrent-unstable
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install qbittorrent

you will need to use appimage as the QT version on linux mint ie ubuntu long term release wont be updated and qbittorrent needs a newer version
