Research direction

Start with the “git: Using your distribution” installation instructions and reproduce the missing-package errors on Ubuntu Server 24.10 for Raspberry Pi. Check how the listed libffi7, libncurses5, and libtinfo5 dependencies are specified, then verify the supported package guidance against the current Ubuntu packages. Done means the installation guidance works on the reported environment or clearly documents its support status.

Description

Environment: Raspberry Pi 5/4GB, Ubuntu Server 24.10

Installation according to "git: Using your distribution" ended with an error:
E: Unable to locate package libffi7
E: Unable to locate package libncurses5
E: Unable to locate package libtinfo5

Ubuntu Server 24.10 is available
Package: libffi-dev Version: 3.4.6-1build1
Package: libncurses-dev Version: 6.4 20240113-1ubuntu2
Package: libtinfo6 Version: 6.4 20240113-1ubuntu2

Can I install the current versions instead of the recommended ones?
