Well, I don't recall this being an essential part of FreeFileSync so I doubt it's the problem, but look for package libcanberra-gtk3-module. This "gtk" to "gtk3" or "gtk4" renaming has been going on for a few decades, and is not limited to just gtk. It's frustrating but usually one of the latest versions of the package is still around.

the gtk3 package is installed : libcanberra-gtk3-module is already the newest version (0.30-17ubuntu2).

is there a possibility to find out why FFS is getting stuck ?
