The OBS packages are having problems because Ubuntu 22.04 lacks the
required dependencies to compile darktable 4.4 (in particular, gcc12). As
there is a single maintainer, and he doesn't use Debian/Ubuntu in "normal
life", it could take a while or could be solved tomorrow, there is no ETA
currently.

More in general: Ubuntu 22.04 is an LTS release. If you want to keep using
it for its whole life, updating to newer and newer versions of darktable
through deb packages will become increasingly difficult, because they
depend on system libraries that are not going to be  upgraded (that's the
basic idea of the LTS). I would recommend you to start looking for
universal packages, like the official flatpak version (
https://flathub.org/apps/org.darktable.Darktable).

Best regards,
Guillermo
