Apt can't find package libasound2-dev 20.04 arm64
I'm trying to install libasound2-dev
on a freshly installed Ubuntu 20.04 on my Raspberry Pi 4 but apt
reports that it can't find the package.
Running apt search libasound2
yields:
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt search libasound2

Looking at the package repository however, it should be available for arm64: https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/libasound2-dev
My /etc/apt/sources.list
is below (after removing commented lines).

deb http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports focal-updates main restricted

If it helps, it seems like this problem isn't specific to libasound2-dev
. It seems that apt can't find anything in the libdevel
section.
I noticed that some of the files in /var/lib/apt/lists/
were zero size, so I ran:
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/
sudo apt update
Many of the zero size files were much larger and running apt search libasound2-dev
yielded the expected result.
