You have to be aware that Ubuntu is copying packages from Debian (to avoid double packaging work), and according to https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/scrcpy there is no scrcpy package with version 2.4 in Debian yet.

If you look at https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/noble-numbat-release-schedule/35649 you can see that "Feature Freeze" and "Debian Import" Freeze dates have already been passed.

So I conclude that the "standard" path for getting scrcpy version 2.4 into Ubuntu noble has been missed.

There are still some possibilities, e.g. a PPA built by somebody or a request for exception.

In any case for most of these workarounds a package with version 2.4 in Debian is a prerequisite, but there seem to be some blockers, see e.g. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1042468

Can you help with this problem?
