[Solved] Kicad 9 - Ubuntu 24.04

I am installing Kicad 9 (from the PPA) on Ubuntu 24.04.
I always find issues like this when installing a new version. Why this always happens?
Can we have a solution that allows users to use newer Kicad versions in existing OS?

➜ sudo apt install kicad

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libocct-visualization-7.6t64 : Depends: occt-misc (= 7.6.3+dfsg1-7.1build1) but 1:7.6.3+dfsg1-8~ubuntu24.04.1 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I could find a quick (dirty) solution… I am going to test this to see if it works.
