Are you quite sure it's PG v11?  Later releases renamed that to
pg_checksums.

Otherwise, maybe Ubuntu put it in some sub-package you didn't install.

In Debian/Ubuntu packaging, pg_checksums is with the other binaries in:

    /usr/lib/postgresql/<major version>/bin/

That's usually not in $PATH, so the OP may have to fully-qualify the command or add that to the path.
