While installing frescobaldi version 3.3.0 in Jammy 22.04 I had to install 2 dependency packages, namely python3-poppler-qt5and python3-qpageview. I had no problem installing python3-poppler-qt5, however python3-qpageview which is only present in jammy-updates is labelled as 'not available' ...

$ sudo apt install python3-qpageview
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package python3-qpageview
$ 

This behaviour also happened minutes ago while trying to install libevince-dev_42.3-0ubuntu3.1_amd64.deb Ubuntu pretended I have a broken system ...

Previously I had installed [way earlier] evince and evince-common version 42.3 from jammy-updates. And this time Ubuntu was seeking to install the dev package for version 42.1 stock jammy instead of 42.3 ...

I guess that my Ubuntu did drop the capability to seek proper updates fromjammy-update packages and I don't know how to restore the full capability. I don't see anything within Software & Updates to correct the trouble ...

Here is the result of apt update as requested

[NOTE]: I have omitted a long list of ppa repositories.

An additional comment is that right before this kind of trouble did appear, I had a surprise one day to see Synaptic showing no green square anymore for installed packages ... I don't remember the step I took to get it back working in Software & Updates, but obviously not as before ...

[Update on the posted answers]: Sorry Sirs, but this is just pure noise ...

If my system was broken, I couldn't install any new packages, and that isn't the case. In addition Synaptic would flag any packages affected. Obviously this isn't the case either, period.

I didn't mention on my initial report that I successfully managed to install python3-qpageview & frescobaldi by command line. I thought it was obvious. But maybe not to everyone ?

So, comments like Your system is broken because you have a couple of bad repositories is totally without merit. In addition jammy-updates, or any distrib updates never shows up in any repository list following an apt update command.

All my PPAs installed are fully working. And I only get Warnings and Notifications, not a single Error following the apt update.

About the Vivaldi NO_PUBKEY Error : It looks like I am by far, not the only one affected by this behaviour, and according to the Vivaldi Forum it looks like there may be a bug within APT. This said, Vivaldi still updates properly.

    Please edit the question to show the complete output of sudo apt update – user535733 Mar 31 '24 at 01:14
  • Your system is broken because you have a couple of bad repositories in your package system. Clean that up before proceeding. You cut out the full output (why) but it looks like your package system is a hot mess. Perhaps it's in the output you cut out, but nothing you showed us proves that jammy-updates is in your package system. Consider editing your question to show the full h̶o̶r̶r̶o̶r̶ content of your sources. – Organic Marble Mar 31 '24 at 16:11
  • To list all your sources you can run the command egrep -v '^#|^ *$' /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* in a terminal window. (from a comment to this answer https://askubuntu.com/a/148954/243321) – Organic Marble Mar 31 '24 at 16:20
