You don’t need to install 3rd party package

You can re-enable lock screen directly from the terminal.

To see if Lock screen is disabled:

gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.lockdown disable-lock-screen
false

If result is true then use:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.lockdown disable-lock-screen false
