Ubuntu package revision not found in GitHub actions

I use GitHub actions with an Ubuntu 20.04 runner, and since last Saturday, started getting an error in Github actions log. I had not changed the yml config.

The error:

Get:79 http://azure.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/universe amd64 proj-bin amd64 6.3.1-1 [88.8 kB]
Fetched 55.7 MB in 1s (61.8 MB/s)
E: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/c/curl/libcurl4-gnutls-dev_7.68.0-1ubuntu2.5_amd64.deb  404  Not Found [IP: 52.250.76.244 80]
E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?
Error: Process completed with exit code 100.

I checked the repo and there's a bit different version available:

trying to fetch: libcurl4-gnutls-dev_7.68.0-1ubuntu2.5_amd64.deb
      available: libcurl4-gnutls-dev_7.68.0-1ubuntu2.6_amd64.deb

(ubuntu2.6_amd64 vs ubuntu2.5_amd64)

How should I make the installer find this version?

Part of the yml config (complete file):

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    strategy:
      matrix:
        python-version: [3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9]

    services:
      postgres:
        # postgres stuff
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      with:
        fetch-depth: 0
    - name: Set up Python ${{ matrix.python-version }}
      uses: actions/setup-python@v2
      with:
        python-version: ${{ matrix.python-version }}
    - name: Install dependencies
      run: |
        # some python packages

Please do not omit relevant information. Post the _complete_ yaml file.

@MichaelHampton posted a URL to the complete config.

It doesn't run `apt-get update` before trying to `apt-get install`!

@MichaelHampton thanks, indeed it was deeper in the config, tests passed. Please, post it as an answer and I'll accept it.

The error suggested the solution:

E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

Indeed, inspecting the YAML revealed that apt-get update was not being run. This should be run before installing software.

Somehow I did not notice the "run apt-get update" phrase until I read your answer. Too much focus and tunnel vision.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
