Flash Error:Package 'netcat' has no installation candidate

I am tring to flash JetPack6.1 into my Jetson AGX Orin and met the following error:

Package ‘netcat’ has no installation candidate

How to fix it?

Had this too yesterday. Are you on Ubuntu 24.04?

I have the same error and i have Ubuntu 24.04…

yes it seems to be caused by the version of the host system. I tried to flash in Ubuntu 20, this error did not occur again, it was another error.

I managed to fix that
vi /home/USER/nvidia/nvidia_sdk/JetPack_6.1_Linux_JETSON_ORIN_NANO_TARGETS/Linux_for_Tegra/tools/l4t_flash_prerequisites.sh

change there netcat to netcat-traditional

Great! For the record I reverted to first the Docker image for 22.04, which also failed with a qemu error. Unresolved still. Then found another 22.04 host I still had where it worked.
