ungit crashes on Debian 11 bullseye - ELOOP - too many levels of symbolic links

Question

Tried to install and run git GUI 'ungit' on Debian 11. The default versions for npm and nodejs from Debian were too old for ungit, so I updated them manually, but ungit still crashes.
Versions

• git: 2.39.3
• npm: 9.6 7
• nodejs: 18.17.1
• ungit: 1.5.24+70b8cab0
• os: Debian 11 bullseye

In command line:

ungit

gives output:

Setting log level to warn Ungit started Took 367ms to start server.

Web browser says:

Whooops Unfortunately ungit interrupted its work because: disconnected

What should I do to make ungit run properly?

If this issue relates to a similar old issue, could someone explain more in detail? It's not clear to me
