Cmake and PugiXML in Github Actions - c++

Question

i try to get pugixml running in github actions. And i would be happy with any solution that is working...
I added the download to the cmake.yml
run: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libsystemd-dev libpugixml-dev
Ubuntu inside github action is installing 1.10-1:
Get:1 http://azure.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/universe amd64 libpugixml1v5 amd64 1.10-1 [89.9 kB]
Get:2 http://azure.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/universe amd64 libpugixml-dev amd64 1.10-1 [105 kB]
Get:3 http://azure.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-updates/main amd64 libsystemd-dev amd64 245.4-4ubuntu3.11 [246 kB]
On my private machine i use Debian testing, where Version: 1.11.4-1 of pugixml is installed.
CMake now tells, that it could not find version 1.10 or higher. It looks like ubuntu's version tag is not correct (?). Is there a way to debug inside these github-actions?

I solved it by using vcpkg to install pugixml:
- name: Install pugixml via vcpkg
run: sudo vcpkg install pugixml && sudo vcpkg integrate install
- name: Configure CMake
# Configure CMake in a 'build' subdirectory. `CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE` is only required if you are using a single-configuration generator such as make.
# See https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/variable/CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE.html?highlight=cmake_build_type
run: cmake -B ${{github.workspace}}/build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=${{env.BUILD_TYPE}} -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=/usr/local/share/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake
- name: Build
# Build your program with the given configuration
run: cmake --build ${{github.workspace}}/build --config ${{env.BUILD_TYPE}}
