This explains the behavior. Your dpkg / apt is set to download information 
about i386 packages in addition to amd64. But no Trinity packages are 
built for i386 on Ubuntu >= 20.04. Therefore, there is no information 
available about such packages for apt.

You can check if you are using any i386 packages. If you have aptitude 
installed, you can use:

aptitude search '~ri386~i'

And then, if you don't need any i386 packages, you can remove support for 
the i386 architecture from dpkg:

dpkg --remove-architecture i386

If you find that you need support for i386 packages, you can limit the apt 
sources for Trinity to amd64 packages by adding [arch=amd64] between "deb" 
and the url address:

deb [arch=amd64] http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/...
