sudo add-apt-repository ppa:costamagnagianfranco/boinc
followed by install of boinc-client failed to install the service script at /lib/systemd/system

This occurred after a clean install of 18.04.6
The scriipt was installed just fine when I tried 22.04.1
I assume I can no longer use 18 and will have to find out why my RX570 drivers failed to install in 22.04
Is there any reason why the service script did not get installed using the franco repository?

OK, found problem (there was none)
Some ubuntu release puts the script into
/usr/lib/systemd/system
others use
/lib/systemd/system

when the app did not run, I looked at /lib and it was not there and I assumed that was the problem.

Keeping it the same would be nice. ;)

Nowadays /lib is a link pointing to /usr/lib.
