Currently, the apt repository does not contain a Release file for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (which is the current LTS version). Therefore, EdgeDB can not be installed on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS using apt despite the documentation on

• https://www.edgedb.com/install#linux-debianubuntults
• https://docs.edgedb.com/guides/deployment/bare_metal

explicitly mention "Ubuntu LTS".

Workaround:

• change noble to jammy in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/edgedb.list
• download https://packages.ubuntu.com/jammy/amd64/libicu70/download and apt install ./libicu70_70.1-2_amd64.deb
