The problem is that puppet is not yet compatible with Ruby >= 3.0 (what Ubuntu 22.04 uses). I have the same problem, and this upstream patch fixes it:
https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/commit/6af09225b3b962547a2564a9d34ccd6832e60558?diff=unified (The patch touches multiple files, but the file in question for this problem is lib/puppet/file_system/file_impl.rb). That said, it might probably be a good idea to apply the entire pull request (https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/8179), not just this patch. Note this discussion in Debian, where they will wait for a Ruby 3.x compatible version for Bookworm: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi- bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1009643 (and which got me on the right track, although the solution is wrong).
