Hello Alexis RAFESTHAIN

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Platform, thanks for posting your query here.

Based on the error shared, looks like there was an error while fetching the Microsoft packages repository during the apt-get update command. The error message suggests that the package file size is unexpected, indicating that the package may not have been completely downloaded or may have been corrupted during the download.

Please try below suggestions and see if it helps resolve your issue:

It could be issue with the apt cache and this can cause errors while updating or installing packages. You can try clearing the apt cache by running the following commands:

sudo apt-get clean

sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

sudo apt-get update

Make sure the URL for the Microsoft packages repository is correct. Use below command, this will display the contents of the microsoft.list file, which should contain the repository URL. If the URL has changed, update it accordingly.:

cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/microsoft.list

If you still continue to hit the issue, you can try manually downloading the package and installing it using the following commands:
wget https://packages.microsoft.com/ubuntu/22.04/prod/pool/main/p/package-name/package-name-version.deb

sudo dpkg -i package-name-version.deb

Note: Replace package-name and package-version with the actual name and version of the package you want to install.

Hope this helps.
