It is not particularly problematic, but the installation on a fresh ubuntu machine suggests libffi8ubuntu1 and that package seems to not exist anymore (link). apt is able to manage anyways:

javier@EVA-01:~$ curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://get-ghcup.haskell.org | sh

Welcome to Haskell!
...
System requirements
  Please ensure the following distro packages are installed before continuing (you can exit ghcup and return at any time): build-essential curl libffi-dev libffi8ubuntu1 libgmp-dev libgmp10 libncurses-dev libncurses5 libtinfo5
Press ENTER to proceed or ctrl-c to abort.
Installation may take a while.

javier@EVA-01:~$ sudo apt install build-essential curl libffi-dev libffi8ubuntu1 libgmp-dev libgmp10 libncurses-dev libncurses5 libtinfo5

Please state the exact distro version you're running when opening distro related tickets. I'm assuming it's jammy 22.04 LTS.

You are right, I should have said it. It is indeed the one that comes with WSL, jammy 22.04 LTS.

Thanks for the quick fix
