We have good reasons to only accept bug reports with prior discussions. Your issue can be a packaging issue and then the question is where the bug is.
Therefore please open a thread in the help forum. When others can reproduce (we have many Ubuntu users around), then this issue can be reopened.

[luzpaz]

This is an issue for downstream Debian/Ubuntu packagers. As a workaround, we provide the PPA, AppImages, Snap, and flatpak of FreeCAD.

[allanlaal]

isn't http://ppa.launchpad.net/freecad-maintainers/freecad-daily/ that PPA ?

but yeah Snap, AppImage and flatpak is a good alternative to this, while Ubuntu 22.04 is still being developed :)

edit1:
not Snap though:

nor flatpak:

  $ flatpak search freecad

so I guess back to manually installing AppImages from https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD-Bundle/releases/tag/weekly-builds
yay! :D

Using the unofficial snap snap info freecad-ppd (since vejmarie hasn't been hands on with maintaining the official snaps, ppd stepped in and made the unofficial snap)

[luzpaz]

isn't http://ppa.launchpad.net/freecad-maintainers/freecad-daily/ that PPA ?

Of course, my bad. I missed that point. The PPA is maintained by us. @kkremitzki can you weigh in on OP's issue?

[allanlaal]

perhaps a solution would be to include libvtk9 (9.0) in the ppa?

or maybe using 9.1 doesn't break anything, since its a minor version change

[luzpaz]

@allanlaal vtk can be problematic to update.

[allanlaal]

@luzpaz what about bundling vtk to the freecad-daily ppa? it wont clash with existing Ubuntu 22.04 packages:
