There is a problem with the latest MariaDB versions which you get in
Ubuntu 20.04.  So if you want to use MariaDB, stick with 18.04 for the
moment.  If you are using lirc, the packages are broken on 18.04 and
20.04, but I have fix scripts on my web server for both now.  I do not
have scripts for the non-LTS Ubuntus.  You can not do an upgrade from
LTS to 20.04 yet - the 20.4.1 release which allows that is still a few
days away.
