Now, considering these reports one cannot IMHO really say that lirc is
'broken'. What could be said is that the upgrade to the new version
requires manual steps, none of which mentioned in this report.

The manual steps are documented in the file
/usr/share/doc/lirc/README.Debian.gz -- this is presented in the upgrade
message for lirc.

>From xekon's note it's clear that the new lirc installation is using the
default setup. It just cannot work as expected. However, the
documentation is pretty clear and there is even a migration script.

Title:
  lirc broken on 18.04

Status in lirc package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Lirc 0.10.0-2 is never configured after installation. Manually running
  "dpkg-reconfigure lirc " also does not do anything. I also noticed
  that /usr/share/lirc/remotes is empty, which is where I had my config
  file for Ubuntu 16.04.

  This was an upgrade install from 16.04.
  Searching the web indicates others have this problem. Some have reverted to the lirc from 16.04. Others recommend using pip3 to install lirc 0.10.10, but I have been unsuccessful so far.
