Installing wget in Debian 10

I just moved from Ubuntu to Debian 10, and I haven't been able to install wget. I tried

sudo apt-get install wget

But recived this message:

This may mean that the package is missing, obsolete or only find available from some other source. The wget package is not available, but some other package references to it.

This happens if you boot a live image:

Fix it by running sudo apt update to update package information first.
