runTimePostProcessing unavailable in ubuntu/debian packages

Summary

The runTimePostProcessing (vtk/images) is unavailable in the ubuntu package (openfoam2006-default).

Steps to reproduce

Install the ubuntu package and try to run any case that includes the visualization function object example.

Example case

$FOAM_TUTORIALS/incompressible/pisoFoam/LES/motorBike

What is the current bug behaviour?

When the solver is run, it shows a warning concerning the runTimePostProcessing: VTK was not compiled in. No output images are created.

What is the expected correct behavior?

runTimePostProcessing working, creating output images.

Relevant logs and/or images

Sampled surface: yNormal -> none, store on registry (samples.yNormal)

Environment information

  • OpenFOAM version : v2006
  • Operating system : ubuntu focal (Linux version 4.19.76-linuxkit)
  • Hardware info : custom docker image (dockerhub: JohK/toolchain-of:of_v2006 )
