hi there!

It looks like you’re missing an apt update after the addition of the Hashicorp repo:

echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/hashicorp-archive-keyring.gpg] https://apt.releases.hashicorp.com $(lsb_release -cs) main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hashicorp.list

sounds like you’re missing the installation of the hashicorp gpg key?
