Bug Description
This happened right after having added the PPA sources, updating the sources and installing widelands with sudo apt install widelands.
The game flashes a presumably 800x600 px window, but refuses to start, with the following error:

Just earlier the same day, build-18, which I had gotten from the default Ubuntu repositories, was running just fine. The OS installation should be new. I just bought the computer yesterday at a city bureau that readies city workers' old work laptops for sale and always installs fresh Ubuntu installations on them. All that I had done

Could you please provide the used graphics card and driver?
I am not familiar with Ubuntu anymore but something like this may work:
lspci -nnk | grep -i VGA -A2
If you have package mesa-utils installed:
glxinfo | grep 'OpenGL version string'
