This is caused by changes related to recent cve of xz backdoor and the repositories might be broken as of now where the most of packages are being rebuilt againt a clean package or something like that. More information can be found at page https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2024-3094 Meanwhile you can add a pinning override to your apt config by creating a file in /etc/apt/preferences.d/ where pinning over 1000 would allow packages to "downgrade" to version from archive that should include newer/rebuilt/clean/etc packages as in 'noble' archive might be newer than 'noble-updates' and also incompatible as you have encountered. After override described below apt 'apt-cache policy' output for affected packages should be like below, notice proper candidate is selected after adding pinning changes: $ apt-cache policy libzvbi0 libzvbi-common libzvbi0: Installed: (none) Candidate: 0.2.42-1.1 Version table: 0.2.42-1.1 1002 1002 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu noble-updates/universe amd64 Packages libzvbi-common: Installed: (none) Candidate: 0.2.42-1.1 Version table: 0.2.42-1.2 1001 1001 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu noble/universe amd64 Packages 0.2.42-1.1 1002 1001 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu noble/universe amd64 Packages 1002 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu noble-updates/universe amd64 Packages Also notice package version from 'noble' archive is newer but with pinning changes older is preferred, as I found out by testing it in my 'noble' chroot Override file should be similar to below (notice 'noble-updates' priority higher than 'noble'), run 'apt-get clean', 'apt-get update', 'apt-get upgrade' and 'apt-get dist-upgrade' after creating such file, don't forget to backup things what you need if you have anything important: Package: * Pin: release a=noble-updates Pin-Priority: 1002 Package: * Pin: release a=noble Pin-Priority: 1001 After changes 'apt-cache policy' output should be similar to this: Package files: 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status release a=now 1002 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu noble-updates/multiverse amd64 Packages release v=24.04,o=Ubuntu,a=noble-updates,n=noble,l=Ubuntu,c=multiverse,b=amd64 origin archive.ubuntu.com 1002 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu noble-updates/universe amd64 Packages release v=24.04,o=Ubuntu,a=noble-updates,n=noble,l=Ubuntu,c=universe,b=amd64 origin archive.ubuntu.com 1002 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu noble-updates/restricted amd64 Packages release v=24.04,o=Ubuntu,a=noble-updates,n=noble,l=Ubuntu,c=restricted,b=amd64 origin archive.ubuntu.com 1002 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu noble-updates/main amd64 Packages release v=24.04,o=Ubuntu,a=noble-updates,n=noble,l=Ubuntu,c=main,b=amd64 origin archive.ubuntu.com 1001 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu noble/multiverse amd64 Packages release v=24.04,o=Ubuntu,a=noble,n=noble,l=Ubuntu,c=multiverse,b=amd64 origin archive.ubuntu.com 1001 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu noble/universe amd64 Packages release v=24.04,o=Ubuntu,a=noble,n=noble,l=Ubuntu,c=universe,b=amd64 origin archive.ubuntu.com 1001 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu noble/restricted amd64 Packages release v=24.04,o=Ubuntu,a=noble,n=noble,l=Ubuntu,c=restricted,b=amd64 origin archive.ubuntu.com 1001 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu noble/main amd64 Packages release v=24.04,o=Ubuntu,a=noble,n=noble,l=Ubuntu,c=main,b=amd64 origin archive.ubuntu.com Pinned packages: Edit: don't forget to separate each pinning rule group, w/o separating pinning might not correctly.
