I want to run apt update and apt install vsftpd in a fresh Ubuntu 24.04 Droplet on DigitalOcean but keep getting this issue where it fails to resolve some packages:

They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
The issue is that I need these commands to be ran via a remote-exec on Terraform. The remote-exec will fail because it gives an warning/error.
Even when I run the install vsftpd it fails with errors. I’ve searched numerous solutions with setting nameservers to 8.8.8.8, changing mirrors but none of it works… Anyone know a solution to this? Its a fresh DO Droplet.
