@seb128: The missing UI refers to the reconfiguration UI which was part
of lirc up to 0.9.0. This reflected even older code containing kernel
modules where lirc was rebuilt from source depending on configuration.
Nowadays lirc is a just a server with configuration files and there is
no need to make anything special at configuration time.

There are new tools available to assist in configuration, but these can
and should be used after installation.

Bottom line seems to be that the expectation was that nothing is
changed. However, it is. The decision to make a breaking change was not
taken lightly, it actually took several years, but eventually it became
necessary.

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.
