I've been trying to install build essential on a cloud VM running Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS (GNU/Linux 5.15.0-1032-oracle aarch64)

I'm unfortunately, very clueless about ubuntu, but from what I can gather, I'm unable to get build-essential because my apt-get repositories are all (possibly) messed up and I'm not sure how to fix them exactly.

This is a bit "Ask me like I'm five" question. I've got no GUI, so it's all console.

Here's the /etc/apt/source.list

  ## Note, this file is written by cloud-init on first boot of an instance
## modifications made here will not survive a re-bundle.
## if you wish to make changes you can:
## a.) add 'apt_preserve_sources_list: true' to /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg
##     or do the same in user-data
## b.) add sources in /etc/apt/sources.list.d
## c.) make changes to template file /etc/cloud/templates/sources.list.tmpl

This is what I get from running apt-get update (message was too big to fit)

    If you're still running Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS (I suggest you check), please apply your security fixes asap, as the .4 upgrades are rolling out now, and .2 shows you've not applied security fixes since Aug-23 if not before. Is there are reason why you've not applied security fixes? (https://fridge.ubuntu.com/2023/08/11/ubuntu-22-04-3-lts-released/ shows release date of 22.04.3 ISO, but installed systems upgraded before that date). Do you get any warnings if you sudo apt update ?? – guiverc Jan 20 '24 at 09:22
  • You should provide your actual command, and any messages you get via copy/paste (it's possible still on text only system) as the package is there for your architecture, ie. build-essential | 12.9ubuntu3 | jammy | source, amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, ppc64el, riscv64, s390x – guiverc Jan 20 '24 at 09:23
  • To apply all fixes (including security) on your current release; you do not use do-release-upgrade, but just sudo apt update & ensure there are no warnings, errors or missing lines in the update, then apply the fixes using sudo apt upgrade; & in rare cases sudo apt full-upgrade. You've not provided that output from sudo apt update which points to where the errors are in your sources (sources can be more than /etc/apt/sources.list too, but include files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ which is empty on a new/clean install). – guiverc Jan 20 '24 at 10:04
  • I'm sorry for misunderstanding you at first, I've update the main post with the full output of sudo apt-get update @guiverc – Maridiama Jan 20 '24 at 10:11

Here is a template for cloud sources.

To download:

 wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/canonical/cloud-init/master/templates/sources.list.ubuntu.tmpl .

Make changes, save your original sources.list file then replace it,

e,g: {{codename}} replace it with jammy.
