This happened this afternoon, Dec 5th 2022.
I did an apt update at noon and this happened after reboot.
I am using ubuntu 20.04 5.15.0-56-generic #62~20.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Tue Nov 22 21:24:20 UTC 2022 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
So what additional information should I add? Where shall I investigate?
