passwordsafe crashes on access to Edit Entry after upgrade to Ubuntu Mate 22.10

passwordsafe 1.15 crashes on access to 'Edit Entry' after upgrade from Ubuntu mate 22.04.1 to Ubuntu Mate 22.10
I removed passwordsafe and passwordsafe-common from system using synaptic
then reinstalled passwordsafe-ubuntu22-1.15-amd64.deb using file downloaded from sourceforge
deb package installer warns me that a later version is available in software channel and strongly advises to install this version
I ignore this and proceed with the deb package installer
this reinstallation does not install passwordsafe-common
clicking 'Edit Entry' now allows me to view the entry
problem appears to be with passwordsafe-common 1.15
however, system wants to upgrade passworsafe which installs the problematic passwordsafe-common
so I have placed a hold lock on passwordsafe for the time being
