A bit of additional detail: `apt-get update` updates the package lists.
A locally cached version of the package list is directly part of the
Ubuntu image on GitHub Actions, but it'll become outdated over time.

Apparently Ubuntu now released an update for a package we need,
replacing the old package with the new one on the package servers (saves
space I guess). Now the package lists are outdated and apt-get install
attempted to find a version that no longer exists, because the lists say
that version X is current when in fact it now is X + 1.

Ilya's patch is exactly the correct fix there, it updates the package
lists so that they reflect the most recent state.
