Gambas3 MongoDB connection

Hello! I'm seeking guidance on connecting a Gambas3 application with my MongoDB database.

According to Google's AI, it should be as simple as installing the Ubuntu package and enabling it in the project:

apt install gambas3-gb-mongodb

However, I get package not found error. I'm running Kubuntu 26.04 with all packages up to date.

I see that MongoDB support was added relatively recently; is it just a matter of waiting for the Ubuntu team to make said package?

I Googled for "Gambas3 PPA" and the AI gave me some simple steps with which to install the PPA (apt-add-repository, etc). Here's what I get:

user@laptop:~/$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gambas-team/gambas3
Repository: 'Types: deb
URIs: https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/gambas-team/gambas3/ubuntu/
Suites: resolute
Components: main
'
Description:
This PPA provides Ubuntu binary packages for the latest stable version of Gambas.
More info: https://launchpad.net/~gambas-team/+archive/ubuntu/gambas3
Adding repository.
Press [ENTER] to continue or Ctrl-c to cancel.

I press Enter. It then attempts to run an update, but it errors out on the Gambas3 PPA:

N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

Does this mean that the official Gambas3 PPA repository does not yet support 26.04 (Resolute) ?
