Public bug reported: On Ubuntu 26.04 LTS (Resolute), APT attempted to install `imagemagick-7.q16`, but tried to download a package version from the Ubuntu Pro/ESM repository that was no longer available.
The installation failed with HTTP 404: `https://esm.ubuntu.com/apps/ubuntu/pool/main/i/imagemagick/imagemagick-7.q16_7.1.2.18%2bdfsg1-1ubuntu0.1%7eesm2_amd64.deb` APT reported: `404 Not Found [IP: 185.125.190.75 443]` The package was requested with: `sudo apt install imagemagick-7.q16` APT then displayed: `Erreur : Impossible de récupérer certaines archives, peut-être devrez- vous lancer apt-get update ou essayer avec --fix-missing ?` Running `sudo apt update` alone did not resolve the problem. The problem was resolved by removing the local APT package lists: `sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*` followed by: `sudo apt update` After rebuilding the APT package lists, `sudo apt install imagemagick-7.q16` worked correctly. Expected behavior: APT should not try to download a package version that is no longer available from the configured Ubuntu Pro/ESM repository. Package metadata should remain synchronized with the versions actually available from the repository. Actual behavior: APT attempted to download an unavailable package version and returned HTTP 404 until the local package lists were manually deleted and rebuilt. Steps to reproduce: 1. Have Ubuntu 26.04 LTS (Resolute) with Ubuntu Pro/ESM Apps enabled. 2. Run `sudo apt install imagemagick-7.q16`. 3. APT attempts to retrieve the ESM package version `7.1.2.18+dfsg1-1ubuntu0.1~esm2`. 4. The ESM server returns HTTP 404. 5. Remove `/var/lib/apt/lists/*` and run `sudo apt update`. 6. Repeat the installation; it succeeds. This may indicate stale or inconsistent APT package metadata involving the Ubuntu Pro/ESM Apps repository.
