as colin said, you will need apt update first, this updates the package
database information, not the packages themselves ... among that info
is also the location of the package in the package pool.
your package db points to the older package which has been removed when
a newer version has shown up in the pool, thus the 404 ...

in older (debian installer based) auto-installs you'd have done the
install of additional packages from a "late-command" script and would
have called apt update from there as the first step ... i assume the
new installer has some equivalent to "late-command" ...
