[.I'm guessing the problem is in upstream? But maybe its
maintainer reads this list?]
Right out of the gate, the PPA install of v31 under Ubuntu 20.04
on a machine that's never before run Myth complained:
> /tmp/mythtv-common.config.lQ0jSJ: 29: pwgen: not found
> mythtv-common failed to preconfigure, with exit status 127
I see a bug report on Launchpad [1], first reported in 2015 and with no
resolution, but I don't know if that's relevant to the PPA version
instead of the Canonical version. I went to [2], but can't seem
to find any links there to report a bug. It directed me to [3]
for more information, which is 404.
I couldn't install pwgen and continue, since apt-get was holding
the package lock, so I had to ^C. I did so, installed pwgen, reran
the apt-get install, and it appears to have worked; that line in
mythtv-common.config appears to be setting up the mythtv DB password
and there's a random-looking entry in /etc/mythtv/config.xml.
But it's still disconcerting, and -such- an apparently easy thing
to fix in the packaging... :)

P.S. I did a dry run with --install-sugggests. Holy cow! It wanted
to install 759 extra packages. Only 102 of them are apparently in
support of xmltv. (xfonts-cyrillic? eh?) Maybe some other day. :)
