I installed Ubuntu 20.04 beta in a VirtualBox virtual machine a few days ago.
Today (after I got the message that 20.04 has been released), I updated the vm
to the latest packages, then tried:
apt install lirc
and got this:
root@vb-Ubuntu-20:/home/stephen# apt install lirc

dpkg: error processing package lirc (--configure):
installed lirc package post-installation script subprocess returned error
exit status 1

Errors were encountered while processing:
lirc
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
This appears to be caused by the /etc/lirc/lirc_options.conf file not
being present. When I copy /etc/lirc/lirc_options.conf.dist to
/etc/lirc/lirc_options.conf and then do:
systemctl start lircd
it does start, but now with an error message about
/etc/lirc/lirc_options.conf being absent. It continues to run.
So it would seem that the lirc package does not install a valid
default config. It should either do that, or it should not attempt to
start lircd when the package is installed.
This problem, like others in this package that I found in the 18.04
version, seems to occur because the package creator is only testing
the package on a system that is being used to develop the package, and
already has a valid config in place and also has the package source
code installed and compiled. The package needs to be properly tested
by installing it on a bare Ubuntu 20.04 system just after the system
has been installed.
