This may be because Purr-Data has not yet updated it's naming scheme to
prevent name clashes. Another issue is that you are trying to install a deb
file compiled for Ubuntu 20.04, which may not work well or at all.

Yes. Those will be posted at some point in the future and are not a part of
the pd-l2ork which does include L2Ork Tweeter and 2 of the compositions
written for it.

Yes. You will still encounter name clashes with  purr-data until that is
fixed on their end.

I just haven't compiled one for the RPi 400 because I don't have access to
one to test. You should be able to compile your own by following the build
instructions.

Hope this helps.
