Help installing gdb package using apt



Hi! 

My name is Demetrius Stanton. I'm fairly new to the Debian Linux environment. I was drawn in by an interest in computer science, which is now leading me to learn cpp.

I recently encountered a weird error, and I can't seem to find a fix online. When I run the command ` sudo apt update && sudo apt install gdb -y `, I receive an 404 error stating failed to fetch https://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/glibc/libc6-dbg_2.36-9%2bdeb12u4_amd64.deb. When I navigate to the  https://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/glibc/ site, I'm able to find  libc6-dbg_2.36-9+deb12u7_amd64.deb. Though I'm reasonably confident I could use wget to download and then dpkg to install this file, I am concerned I could adversely affect the stability of my system. I'm sure it would be safer for me to use apt to manage my packages.

How do I proceed forward from here?

Regards,

Demetrius Stanton
