Ubuntu 20.04 arm64 packages fail to install as of today

[glebm]

Description

Today, our Aarch64 cross build workflow failed with the following error:

$ sudo apt-get install -y cmake git smpq gettext crossbuild-essential-arm64 libsdl2-dev:arm64 libsdl2-image-dev:arm64 libsodium-dev:arm64 libsimpleini-dev:arm64 libpng-dev:arm64 libbz2-dev:arm64 libfmt-dev:arm64

...

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

This workflow has worked fine until now.

Hello, @glebm

I see "apt-get install ..." in workflow (but no "apt-get update")
https://github.com/diasurgical/devilutionX/actions/runs/5525336672/workflow#L32-L37

"apt-get install ..." operates with local package cache, which should be updated first, for example: https://blog.packagecloud.io/you-need-apt-get-update-and-apt-get-upgrade/

Apt update didn't help when I tried it earlier

@ilia-shipitsin Hi Ilia, that's not the step that fails. We do invoke sudo apt-get update in a subsequent step:

The issue got fixed in the new image version (20230710.1.0) https://github.com/diasurgical/devilutionX/actions/runs/5537840856/jobs/10107118804
