I don't know what a ros2me installation is, but this is correct behavior for Humble. We removed orocos_kdl in favor of orocos_kdl_vendor. That means that orocos_kdl is no longer released in Humble. My guess is that your source code is out of date (you need to be on the humble branch), but I'm not sure.

ROS2Me is just this script that installs ROS2: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/linorobot/ros2me/master/install

How should I use orocos_kdl_vendor in Humble please? Below some info from my system.

I found this https://github.com/ros2/orocos_kdl_vendor/tree/humble but I'm unclear how to use it?

I feel that this is now becoming more suited for a post on ROS Answers, but I think the issue you're facing is from the instructions of compiling tf2_geometry_msgs from source as instructed in https://github.com/Agroecology-Lab/visual-multi-crop-row-navigation/tree/ROS2#dependencies

You should be able to just skip the following lines from the instructions there:

git clone https://github.com/ros2/geometry2.git
cd geometry2
git fetch origin pull/533/head:pr-533
git checkout pr-533

and things should work.
