I had this error and more. I lost all my data trying to configure what I thought was a workaround. Of course, I was wrong in my attempts, i.e. as it was indescribable to me at that point.

In my last attempts, after losing all data, I just erased the WSL2 instance via terminal application and then reinstalled each lib. I had, or some of them, via another route. I tried to downgrade kernels, upgrade kernels, and then ultimately took the bite of not enough time to dedicate to the issue.

I hope you guys/gals figure it out. I could not get past the error.
