I'm on 14.04 LTS and found this as a duplicate of Bug #1497266 reported
by Lin Yu Han on 2015-09-18. I'm wondering why the fix for this bug has
not been tested and made available in more than the zesty (experimental)
repository? Alec had a fix 2 years ago:

This bug was fixed in the package lirc - 0.9.4c-4
14.04 is still at 0.9.0-0ubuntu5, which does not install. Everyone on
the Long Term Support release with a need for lirc is vulnerable. I
attempted 'apt-get install inputlirc' naked, but that brings lirc and
this failure too.
I've tried to avoid using lirc, but receive no (EV_KEY) key events in
'ir-keytable -t' output.

Above is what I see after pressing the OK (Select) button.
I have the same remote and IR receiver working fine in the living room with
lirc untouched under a 2014 install. I want to transition both machines to
18.04, but have no confidence I'll
have a working remote control for mythtv.
Apparently, I've removed and purged lirc in a way that is confusing
packaging software's post install script.
