Hi @ThibaultLesuisse- To address the issue where NuGet is not available in the Ubuntu 24.04 repository, here are a few possible solution which I am providing to you below:-

You can use the 22.04 Repository (Workaround)
If you still prefer to use the Ubuntu repositories, you can temporarily use the 22.04 repositories.

A. Add the 22.04 repository to your sources list:
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy main universe" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jammy.list'
B. Update and install NuGet.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nuget

You can try using this. And Let me know if you need further assistance!

Won't this add 22.04 packages? This could have some consequences right?

Hi @ThibaultLesuisse - we will check on this and will update you shortly. Thanks!

Hi @ThibaultLesuisse - You can use ubuntu 22.04 as a workaround and log/create a 'feature request' to add Nuget to ubuntu 24.04 image.
