That's weird. MySQL is available in Ubuntu 22.04 (and thus should also be
available in Kubuntu):
https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=mysql&searchon=names&suite=jammy&section=all

Or you install the MySQL-replacement MariaDB:
https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=jammy&section=all&keywords=mariadb&searchon=names
