I am working in ubuntu through wsl today and having a problem.
My issue is that when trying to install multiple packages I have received an error similar to the one below:
This wasn't the top level package I was trying to install. In the pictured case was trying to install npm I get an error about node-gyp, which said it needed libnode-dev, which needs libuv1-dev so I followed the dep chain to the problem package.
Additionally this occurred with libssl-dev which popped up when trying to install a python verion with pyenv. I don't have a screenshot but it looked very similar, except it ended with "ubuntu2.13". So, it seems like apt maybe isn't getting the latest packages? Maybe something else going on? I'm not very sharp with troubleshooting this.
Running apt update seems to succeed without error which I ran several times while feeling confused. Let me know what yall think - my sources.list is the original from wsl focal 20.04 (I downloaded a fresh tar and refreshed it just in case).
I also sanity checked some random top level package (httpie) that installed fine through apt.
