Me and a Github user called programmeddeath1 found a similar error message: https://github.com/ros/ros/issues/307

It might not be related to your question per se, but definitely to the error message.

No. ROS Melodic is not (natively) supported on 22.04.

Refer to REP-3: Target Platforms: Melodic Morenia (May 2018 - May 2023), specifically the sections about supported operating systems.

Having written that: you could try building from source, but there's a good chance it won't work, as many of the dependencies would have changed versions between 18.04 and 22.04.

Perhaps if you could clarify why you'd need to run Melodic, we could provide you with a better answer.

Refer to #q399664 for a similar question, but for Noetic on 22.04.
