Yes, we all do. Most installations of Ubuntu have several copies of it, but
they
are not in the place you expect. For example mine are in:

/snap/gnome-42-2204/176/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglut.so
/snap/gnome-42-2204/176/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglut.so.3
/snap/gnome-42-2204/176/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglut.so.3.9.0
/snap/kde-frameworks-5-98-qt-5-15-6-core20/9/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglut.so
/snap/kde-frameworks-5-98-qt-5-15-6-core20/9/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglut.so.3
/snap/kde-frameworks-5-98-qt-5-15-6-core20/9/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglut.so.3.9.0
....
(and several other places) ...


Can you try

That definitely does NOT work:

$ sudo apt-get install libglut3.12
[sudo] password for paulo:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package libglut3.12
E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'libglut3.12'
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'libglut3.12'

One thing that works is:

 sudo apt-get install freeglut3

BUT, but ... installs 3.9.0.
