Unable to locate package lib32tinfo5 (Ubuntu 19.10 x64)
When installing the server, I got a warning about lib32tinfo5. It tried installing the package manually, and I tried giving my gmodserver superuser to no avail, its as if the package doesn't exist on apt.

is my version too high maybe? Do I need to reinstall to an earlier version of ubuntu? Thank you.

Here's some output from when I tried running as superuser

What about manually installing dependencies as root, as advised?
You might miss
dpkg --add-architecture i386
apt update

Though, seems like you have libstdc++6:i386 installed already, so that might not be your issue.

It might occur that this package is not available by default in Ubuntu 19.

Either support has been dropped or the package has not been ported yet. You might have to find a trick to install it, or use a non kinda beta distro. :)

Ultimately, it might be useful to report this on Github with any useful info that you can find regarding this dependency, if you think there is anything to fix within the code.

I'm even getting this error when I downgrade all the way to Ubuntu 16.04-LTS x64
Maybe I should use Debian or CentOS?

I would do Debian. But do some kind of perform Debian server os. Just because Debian may have more help from the community. Check out one of the r/'s on reddit for Debian servers.
