I had the same problem for Ubuntu 22.04, the solution for me was to install libmysqlclient-dev before running modoboa-install

sudo apt install libmysqlclient-dev

Hey @Esuk and @Exepion. The "fix" has been merged, but it needs some changes. Would you mind posting the result of this command here, please ? cat /etc/os-release

Thanks !
