I don't have a reliable way to reproduce this issue, but it happens often enough for me.
I saw this issue multiple times on both Ubuntu 20 and Ubuntu 22
Sometimes, when I spin up a new instance on cloud, and run apt-get update, the command succeeds with all Hit but no Get in output. However, when I run apt-get install, it will fail with 404. The issue usually gets fixed by itself after 30 mins to 1 hour.
And I found a workaround that if I do
sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.bak
sudo apt-get update
sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list.bak /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt-get update
the last apt-get update will pull the latest package information and apt-get install will work.
Why does this happen?
*edit: it's nothing about repository or mirror, it's apt update doesn't actually pull latest information unless I make some change to the /etc/apt/sources.list file first. See the output below, the first apt-get update just did nothing

**edit: it's nothing to do with the deprecation warning, I am complaining apt-get update didn't pull latest information (I ran apt-get list to check desired version)! Please check the output I pasted in first edit! Ubuntu Version, release information is there and I ran apt-get update twice, the 1st try didn't work (apt-get list cannot find the latest version of curl), there is only HIT but no GET. I moved and restored /etc/apt/sources.list so that 2nd apt-get update could somehow work (apt-get list can find the latest version of curl).
