The main issue described in this bug is bogus, as apparent from  bug
#1788235

However, the configuration script lirc-setup *is* indeed broken . This
is fixed in Debian upstream from 0.10.1, but hasn't trickled down.  That
said, users will still need to read README.Debian, and the process to
configure lirc is still very different from what it used to be. Also,
most users updating does not need lirc-setup.

I'm  considering  closing this bug as a duplicate or just invalid.

Title:
  LIRC not working on Ubuntu 18.04

Status in lirc package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  It appears that the LIRC 0.10.0-2 package for Ubuntu 18.04 (bionic) is
  not working correctly. The usual configuration menu to select your
  remote does not come up after installing the package.

  Saw some other mentions of this issue as well on the forums:

  This handy blog post shows a workaround of installing an older version
  (0.9.0) from xenial to get it to work:
