However, I feel that this is related to thread #15960, the repositories are apparently inconsistent and honestly, I’d advise against installing anything until an official answer is provided, in order to prevent accidentally breaking your system.

@Development @Development-Team can you check into this?

Hello!
Please make sure to do sudo apt update before doing any installations or
sudo parrot-upgrade
after that you can install any packages that is on official repo without any fetch issues
