    Ubuntu 24.04 cannot install zabbix-agent

    I have downloaded the following file I have downloaded the file zabbix-release_latest_7.4+ubuntu24.04_all.deb.
    run the dpkg -i on the file and then ran up did an apt update.

    I then tried to install zabbix-agent and got the following error.

    apt install zabbix-agent
    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree... Done
    Reading state information... Done
    E: Unable to locate package zabbix-agent

    Where can I locate the installation package to zabbix-agent 7.4

    Thanks

    Sorry for the confusion, I have now solved the issue.
    There were some funky files in the /etc/apt/sources.d/ directory/
    I have Ubuntu noble installed and there were some references to Ubuntu jammy in some files. This must have caused some conflicts/confusion with apt update.
    After removing all the files the referenced jammy, did and apt update, all worked as expected.

    Thought I would add my solution for info purposes.

      apt search zabbix ?
      If you see nothing there, then run
      apt update
      again.
