This is a recurring issue since the cage-transform tool was first introduced. It is caused by some mis-match with one of the linux dependencies. With various updates, sometimes it works, sometimes it does not work. Not limited to Ubuntu, it affects other debian based distros such as Mint and certainly my old distro of choice PClinuxOS which is nowhere near Debian.
It is not dependent on version of Gimp. This Kubuntu 16.04 and Gimp 2.8.22. https://i.imgur.com/vjXRsEU.jpg The problem has been reported as a bug any number of times but since it is a linux system conflict not much they can do.
At the moment cage-transform works in the Gimp 2.10.2 flatpak https://i.imgur.com/NQXDION.jpg
Windows users stand a better chance since Gimp comes as a complete package with all the files fixed versions. (although Windows Gimp 2.10 users might disagree with current problems)

Quote:...I've read about the cage tool. It seems to be very convenient tool for manipulating images...Not as much use as you might think, When I set up Gimp, one of the tools I remove from the tool box icons and consign to the tools menu
