The repositories have not changed.  ubuntu-release-upgrader-core and
ubuntu-release-upgrader-qt are from the same source package, and the
binaries for the two packages were published at the same version at the same
time to hirsute-updates.

The only difference between these two packages is that
ubuntu-release-upgrader-core is in main, while ubuntu-release-upgrader-qt is
in universe.  So it's possible the problem you experienced was due to a
partial failure to update the apt sources, and you had an updated list for
hirsute-updates/universe but not for hirsute-updates/main.

The other possibility would be that you had hirsute-updates/universe in your
apt sources.list but you didn't have hirsute-updates/main.  This is not a
situation that would arise automatically from the installer.
