  • You haven't provided any release details, which is rather critical as the sources need to match your installed system. Your pasted link on where you got sources, plus what you pasted however imply you're using an EOSS release. What release are you using? as your pasted details imply you're using a release that pre-dates what is available for WSL on the Microsoft Store – guiverc Mar 23 '24 at 10:13

    Ubuntu 16.04 LTS has reached the end of it's standard support life thus is now off-topic here unless your question is specific to helping you move to a supported release of Ubuntu. Ubuntu 16.04 ESM support is available, but not on-topic here, see https://askubuntu.com/help/on-topic See also https://ubuntu.com/blog/ubuntu-16-04-lts-transitions-to-extended-security-maintenance-esm This is community support; 16.04 is EOSS thus out of community support. – guiverc Mar 23 '24 at 10:13
  • Delete WSL and recreate it – Archisman Panigrahi Mar 23 '24 at 15:09
