Problem Statement
The current ubuntu-latest GitHub Action runners still use Ubuntu 22.04 and not 22.10. Could the readme list a preferred way to install via GitHub Actions?

2023-08-17T15:09:36.5783545Z E: Unable to locate package xq
Expected Result
That XQ would be found since the runner uses Ubuntu 22.04
Note, the bug label could be removed, sorry.
I guess the only way to do it in the scope of GitHub action (without dealing with custom images) is to use bash installer:
curl -sSL https://bit.ly/install-xq | sudo bash
Unfortunately, there is no prepackaged xq for Ubuntu 22.04, and I think GitHub only focused on LTS versions of Ubuntu (so the next one will be only Ubuntu 24.04).
A good list of which distro contains prepackaged versions can be found here: https://repology.org/project/xq-sibprogrammer/versions
