This isn't only happening with gettext. There are a bunch of packages that I cannot install. It gives me this error:
sudo apt install gettext
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
Package gettext is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package 'gettext' has no installation candidate
However, this package clearly exists for my distro, Ubuntu 22.04. I already ran sudo apt update and that doesn't solve the issue.
Also, my /etc/apt/sources.list seems fine.
cat /etc/apt/sources.list
