Error: when installing the DEB packages for docker desktop on ubuntu

Question

I am following the docs to install docker on Vmware ubuntu when I run:

sudo apt-get install ./docker-desktop-4.11.0-amd64.deb

I get this:

Reading package lists... Error!

E: read, still have 8 to read but none left
E: Internal error, could not locate member control.tar{.zst,.lz4,.gz,.xz,.bz2,.lzma,}
E: Could not read meta data from /home/ali/docker-desktop-4.11.0-amd64.deb
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

ensure the file you are installing is not damaged or incomplete downloaded. — T.Todua, Jan 23 '23 at 20:16

i was finally able to solve this

following the installation steps here https://docs.docker.com/desktop/install/ubuntu/
i was clicking on the Download the latest DEB package which downloaded the docker-desktop 4.11.0
but i was able to find 4.12 from here https://desktop.docker.com/linux/main/amd64/docker-desktop-4.12.0-amd64.deb
and that one worked
Note: i am using ubuntu-22.04.1
