Bug description:
  Hello,

  I have an automated install of Ubuntu 24.04 that has been working
  great for many months.  Yesterday I noticed it was failing.  It dumps
  me to a terminal when it fails.  I was able to find the following
  error in /var/log/installer/curtin-install.log

      ¦   Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
      ¦   requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
      ¦   distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
      ¦   or been moved out of Incoming.
      ¦   The following information may help to resolve the situation:
      ¦
      ¦   The following packages have unmet dependencies:
      ¦   ¦linux-headers-generic : Depends: linux-headers-6.8.0-100-generic but it is not installable
      ¦   ¦linux-image-generic : Depends: linux-image-6.8.0-100-generic but it is not going to be installed
      ¦   ¦   ¦   ¦   ¦   ¦   ¦  Depends: linux-modules-extra-6.8.0-100-generic but it is not installable

      ¦   E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

  I have the following set in my autoinstall, so I believe that this must be due to some recent change in the ubuntu repos.
    refresh-installer:
      update: yes
    updates: all
    package_update: true
    package_upgrade: true

  I have attached the curtin-install.log file.
