Description

## Description
On an Ubuntu derivative (Linux Mint), there is a installation issue when using the apt-get system.
The default couchdb.list entry is not correct for this environment. The actual procedure for this has to be followed in the following discussion:
https://github.com/apache/couchdb/discussions/4278

## Steps to Reproduce

Use the installation steps as mentioned in the official document on Linux Mint 20.04:
https://docs.couchdb.org/en/3.2.2-docs/install/unix.html#installation-using-the-apache-couchdb-convenience-binary-packages

The final sudo apt-get update and install commands fail as mentioned in the discussion.

## Expected Behaviour

The installation of apt-get pre-requisites should work unattended.
