I'm having the same error fetching the libudev-dev:

  Err:37 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu noble-updates/main amd64 libudev-dev amd64 255.4-1ubuntu8.4

  E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

This has happened before, is there any way to avoid this happening in the future?
