E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

I tried sudo apt-get update --fix-missing, also tried this, this and this and the result is the same.

I also opened up this issue but im not sure if the problem is with podman, ubuntu or myself.

Am i doing something wrong?

Does this answer your question? What causes "Failed to fetch ... File has unexpected size. Mirror sync progress?" error? — karel, Sep 21 '23 at 01:48
Kinda. Turns out its not in the repo, so we ended up using other links in /etc/apt/sources.list.d. — Marco Montevechi Filho, Sep 21 '23 at 21:27

Turns out i had an unstable repo in my /etc/apt/sources.list.d:

https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/kubic:/libcontainers:/unstable/xUbuntu_22.04/

Im also used a version of crun that conflicted with that actually used by podman. Removing it from /etc/apt/sources.list.d, calling apt-update and removing and reinstalling podman slved the issue.

Cant install podman in ubuntu 20.04
