While installing frescobaldi
version 3.3.0 in Jammy 22.04 I had to install 2 dependency packages, namely python3-poppler-qt5
and 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

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.
