I have always used a program called Dispcal to do color calibrations of
my monitors. I had it installed and running before my upgrade to 22.04.
So, after the upgrade, first tried installing it from the software
center and had a bunch of unmet dependencies.

No; not true. I don't see that package listed in the default 22.04 repositories anywhere. So, can't be in the software center. And if it
were in there, there's no chance it would have unmet dependencies.
That's not how apt package manager works. It literally handles package dependencies. You must have added some weird 3rd party repos.

As it says there, unfortunately, there are no good, free replacements.
Even after I did my initial upgrade from 18.04 to 22.04 on the desktop a couple of weeks ago, the program will worked, so even after the fresh
install of 22.04 that I now have for the desktop, I should still be able
to get it to find the Agryll executables files. There is a note about installing in Linux at their site but I am not sure how to do this from
the command line so any thoughts welcome: "You will also have to
configure your $PATH environment variable to give access to the
executables from your command line environment."

How to Add a Directory to PATH in Linux [Quick Tip]
https://itsfoss.com/add-directory-to-path-linux/
Ok, so I have the Aryll folder in the home directory. I opened a
terminal and did this:
export PATH=$PATH:/home/wayne/Argyll_V2.3.1/bin
When I opened the program (Displaycal) and directed it to load the Aryll executables, it still fails to even see the Aryll folder.
My apologies. You were correct, it is NOT in the default repositories.
I had initially tried to install it from the most recent DEB which
brings up the install screen. Of course, then it wouldn't install
because of the missing dependencies.
Glad you got it working with flatpack.
