This was an issue for me on Windows 10, using WSL2 and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. The other solutions in this post did not help, and I was unwilling to downgrade to Ubuntu 20. Instead, I managed to fix it by removing all node-related packages with apt and then installing node via nvm as per this guide by Microsoft.
So to remove the packages:
sudo apt-get remove --purge nodejs npm
Then install nvm...
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/master/install.sh | bash
Restart the terminal. Then, make sure nvm is installed:
nvm --version
Finally, use nvm to install the latest version of node and npm:
nvm install node
Check to make sure node and npm are installed:
node --version
npm --version
Hope this helps!
