Same problem.

see Ubuntu 24.04 LTS: error while loading shared libraries: libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so.37

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources

add this as it shows:
jammy
jammy-security

then

sudo apt update
sudo apt install libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev

npm run tauri dev

for my development env, this woks

for end user, use sudo apt install libwebkit2gtk-4.0 should be ok after add jammy and jammy-security into /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources

This is a bit dirty. It is recommended to restore /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources to its original state after installing libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev.

on kububtu,when Double-click the deb package, will install the deb using the QApt graphical interface by default (i.e. qapt-deb-installer)

Double-click google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb 125.0.6422.112. It will originally prompt a dependency unsatisfied error in the QApt interface, but it can actually be installed using apt or dpkg

after changing /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources and apt update

Double-clicking google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb 125.0.6422.112 does not prompt a dependency not satisfied error in the QApt interface, but displays that many dependencies need to be deleted.

These dependencies are necessary for the system, including the desktop environment, desktop keyboard and mouse input devices, input methods, etc. Many contents and some installed software will be deleted.

According to actual test, using apt to install this deb will automatically change to use the package in the server without causing problems.
Therefore the bug should be caused by the QApt graphical interface installation (i.e. qapt-deb-installer)

In addition, dpkg -i has not been tested. I don’t know whether apt install -f is required and whether it will cause problems.

Your workaround doesn't work:

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libdbus-glib-1-dev : Depends: libdbus-glib-1-2 (= 0.112-3) but 0.112-3build2 is to be installed
 librsvg2-dev : Depends: librsvg2-2 (= 2.54.5+dfsg-1ubuntu2.1) but 2.58.0+dfsg-1build1 is to be installed
                Depends: librsvg2-common (= 2.54.5+dfsg-1ubuntu2.1) but 2.58.0+dfsg-1build1 is to be installed

I tested also on Kali and there is a conflict with libjpegturbo0. So now, it is unable to use tauri on latest Ubuntu LTS / Kali
