Its a known issue that was fixed a long time ago: [I cannot read a .vtp file I could open yesterday. Can someone try to open it?](https://discourse.paraview.org/t/i-cannot-read-a-vtp-file-i-could-open-yesterday-can-someone-try-to-open-it/13938)

The simplest fix is to use the ParaView binary package from: [https://www.paraview.org/download/](https://www.paraview.org/download/)
