@rajurs according to the output, the APT didn't visit https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/azure-cli/. Could you double check if the source list is updated correctly?

Closing due to inactivity.

This happens if you are following instructions (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/install-azure-cli-apt?view=azure-cli-latest) but miss a step.

When using the copy button for bash commands on the web page, and pasting it in bash, sometime it is possible that the last command in the group is not executed because an enter wasn't pressed. In my case, AZ_REPO wasn't set properly.

Note that after setting the AZ_REPO variable as explained by @YasserAsmi, you also have to re-run the sudo apt-get update command before sudo apt-get install azure-cli will resolve the azure-cli package location.
