Hi
I installed the 20.04 packages and that did not go well.
Yesterday (maybe John) said do not use the distro packages but use the ppa. And explained reasons.
I built from src as per the wiki and that was quick and easy.
In any event (struggles for nice words) I did not like some of the decisions made by the ubuntu developers eg crazy passwords for user:mythtv on the db to stop my wife hacking mythtv !!! so I used the opportunity to let sanity prevail.
I was just saying 
  if you can’t find packages that suit you then building from src is easy
