OpenFOAM v2112 Ubuntu packages: segmentation faults

I just installed OpenFOAM v2112 on Ubuntu from the official PPA repository. I started by installing it on Ubuntu 21.04, then upgraded to 21.10, and now I also tried in a clean Ubuntu 21.10 VM, which I used for the following.

When running seemingly any application, I get a segmentation fault.

Running blockMesh -help on OpenFOAM v2112:

Running the same on OpenFOAM v2106 (same system):

Running blockMesh on OpenFOAM v2112, with a v2112 tutorial case (basic/potentialFoam/pitzDaily):

(this case works normally with v2106)

The dynamic libraries currently linked to blockMesh (if that may give any hints, same versions are picked by v2106):

(I am sorry for the screenshots instead of log files, setting up shared clipboard in VirtualBox is always a bit complicated.)
