Dependency check needs updating in setup.deb.sh

Description

Hi, I get the following error when trying to install Task on Ubuntu 24.02 (Noble)..

curl -1sLf 'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/task/task/setup.deb.sh' | sudo -E bash
[sudo] password for adegoodyer:

According to a bit of quick research, apt-transport-https no longer exists as a separate package as HTTPS support is now built directly into apt - so the dependency check will obviously fail if you've not got it installed.

Most probably have it installed from previous package installations - but this was on a fresh install of ubuntu so perhaps a bit too clean.

The GPG keys are added before the script exits though and so sudo apt install task will still work afterwards.

Probably just needs a tweak in the script for dependency checking based of what apt version is being used - or updated error output explaining the situation (or both).

That install script is part of the cloudsmith hosting infrastructure and can't be influenced, it seems. I will close the issue, however if you do know a way to influence this please reopen this issue or open a PR with a fix. The integration point is here:
