Hi @IgalSc! Thanks for reporting this.

I don't think our apt repository has packages for Ubuntu 22.04 "jammy" yet; it isn't one of the distributions listed in the APT packages documentation.

I'm going to label this issue as a request to add support for this new distribution, since it is of course reasonable to expect that packages should be available for the latest LTS release of Ubuntu. The apt repository is not under the control of the team which works in this repository (there is a separate release engineering team which manages that across all HashiCorp products) but we can relay this request to them and then close it once they've confirmed that support for the new distribution is available.

Thanks again!

In the meantime, I think you could make this work by editing your apt sources file and changing "jammy" to "impish", to install the packages for Ubuntu 21.10. In practice all of the Terraform packages across all apt-based distributions have identical content and only differing metadata, because Terraform CLI executables depend only on the Linux kernel system call interface and so don't need to vary between Linux distributions.

The tutorial you followed creates the apt sources file at /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hashicorp.list, so that is the file you'd need to edit. I expect it will currently contain the following:

deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/hashicorp-archive-keyring.gpg] https://apt.releases.hashicorp.com jammy main

My suggestion is to replace "jammy" with "impish", like this:

deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/hashicorp-archive-keyring.gpg] https://apt.releases.hashicorp.com impish main

Note that although the Terraform packages are not distribution-version-sensitive, that isn't necessarily true for other HashiCorp products in this repository. If you intend to install other products beyond Terraform then I can't promise that the "impish" builds for those will work on your system; for those you may need to wait until there's real support for Ubuntu 22.04 in the repository.
