Wrong version taken in apt command in EC2

We are trying to install libmysqlclient-dev and used this command:

sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev -y

We got the following error :

Reading package lists... Done

The following additional packages will be installed:
  libmysqlclient21
The following NEW packages will be installed:

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

We used both apt-get update and the --fix-missing option. We got the same error.

We then listed the available versions using sudo apt-cache policy libmysqlclient-dev:

we got:

libmysqlclient-dev:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 8.0.28-0ubuntu0.20.04.3
  Version table:
     8.0.28-0ubuntu0.20.04.3 500

     8.0.19-0ubuntu5 500
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/main amd64 Packages

We went to http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/m/mysql-8.0/ : Screen shot of the available packages

We got the version of linux using lsb_release -a:

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS
Release:        20.04
Codename:       focal

We then tried to force install the available version using sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev=8.0.28-0ubuntu0.20.04.4 -y:

We got :

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Version '8.0.28-0ubuntu0.20.04.4' for 'libmysqlclient-dev' was not found

How do we get this package installed?
