Try installing the libwebkit2gtk version the error lists.

Yes, I tried that. That version of the library is no longer available.

I see it's not possible on 24.04.
I think this will be solved by upgrading wails to the 3.0 version, but this seem like a rather extensive task. Which I can't commit the time to right now.

For the time being if you want to mine VTC I would recommend using Verthashminer directly.

Thank you.
