Since the apt pandoc is still version 1.19 I thought I would try to install it from here https://packages.debian.org/buster/amd64/pandoc/download. But something went wrong:

$ sudo dpkg -i /tmp/mozilla_felix0/pandoc_2.2.1-3+b2_amd64.deb 
Selecting previously unselected package pandoc.
(Reading database ... 197422 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack .../pandoc_2.2.1-3+b2_amd64.deb ...
Unpacking pandoc (2.2.1-3+b2) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of pandoc:
pandoc depends on pandoc-data (>= 2.2.1-3); however:
  Version of pandoc-data on system is 1.19.2.4~dfsg-1build4.

dpkg: error processing package pandoc (--install): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured Processing triggers for man-db (2.8.3-2ubuntu0.1) ... Errors were encountered while processing: pandoc

whenever I use pandoc I get this error message now

Could not find data file /usr/share/pandoc/data/abbreviations

I am not sure what I should do now. It is my first time using dpkg. I guess I need to purge the old version somehow, but I already used apt remove pandoc before, so I am unsure what went wrong.
