Package 'dotnet-sdk-7.0' has no installation candidate on Xubuntu / Ubuntu 22.04

ye flag

I followed the instructions from here to install .NET 7 SDK after having installed .NET 6 SDK from the Ubuntu feed.

wget https://packages.microsoft.com/config/ubuntu/22.04/packages-microsoft-prod.deb -O packages-microsoft-prod.deb
sudo dpkg -i packages-microsoft-prod.deb
rm packages-microsoft-prod.deb

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install dotnet-sdk-7.0 results in this error:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
Package dotnet-sdk-7.0 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'dotnet-sdk-7.0' has no installation candidate

sudo apt show dotnet-sdk-7.0 -a results in this:

Also tried apt-get upgrade

/etc/apt/sources.list.d/microsoft-prod.list contains this:

deb [arch=amd64,arm64,armhf] https://packages.microsoft.com/ubuntu/22.04/prod jammy main

apt policy dotnet-sdk-7.0 shows:

dotnet-sdk-7.0:

I could get the .NET 7 SDK installation working by adding the file /etc/apt/preferences as described here:

Package: dotnet-sdk-7.0
Pin: origin "packages.microsoft.com"
Pin-Priority: 999

But .NET 6 SDK stopped working.

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.
