I've installed Octave on Ubuntu 21.04 but run into problems installing packages. After trying to install liboctave-dev, I get

liboctave-dev depends on libncurses5-dev; however: Package libncurses5-dev is not installed.

dpkg: error processing package liboctave-dev (--configure): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured

then ..

Failed to fetch http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/n/ncurses/libncurses-dev_6.2+20201114-2build1_amd64.deb 403 Forbidden [IP: 202.158.214.106 80]

I've tried apt update and --fix-broken install. Any help would be appreciated!

    "au mirror" http://mirror.pacific.net.au/linux/ubuntu/pool/main/n/ncurses/libncurses-dev_6.2+20201114-2build1_amd64.deb for libncurses-dev is down too. http://ftp.iinet.net.au , nz mirrors, European and some US mirrors are OK. – Knud Larsen Jul 03 '21 at 12:48

    Does this answer your question? [How do I restore the default repositories?](https://askubuntu.com/questions/124017/how-do-i-restore-the-default-repositories) – N0rbert Jul 03 '21 at 17:29
  • Yes @NOrbert - problem solved just by changing the Ubuntu Software server. I should have looked more closely at the "failed to fetch" message! – BillC Jul 04 '21 at 02:15
