I am getting this message when installing the qemu package as given in the README. "Package qemu is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source. "

qemu package has been changed to qemu-system in the latest versions of ubuntu.

What about users on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS?

qemu-system-x86 on Ubuntu 22.04.3 which is the latest LTS ISO from Canonical , same on Debian 12.

This is not an appropriate change for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS users.

$ sudo aptitude install qemu-system
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  qemu-system qemu-system-mips{a} qemu-system-misc{a} qemu-system-ppc{a} qemu-system-s390x{a} qemu-system-sparc{a}
