      sudo wget https://packages.microsoft.com/config/ubuntu/22.04/packages-microsoft-prod.deb
      sudo dpkg -i packages-microsoft-prod.deb

      sudo apt update

      sudo apt list (I can see the package dotnet-runtime-6.0) in the list of available packages however

      sudo apt install dotnet-runtime-6.0 results in the message:

      E: Unable to locate package dotnet-runtime-6.0
      E: Couldn’t find any package by glob ‘dotnet-runtime-6.0’

        Hi Mervin,

        I hope the application build on .net core 3.0 should be compatible with .netcore 3.1. Are you facing any error if run app with 3.1?
