I upgraded from 16.04 to 18.04 and lirc does not work anymore. systemd shows errors such as "lircd-0.10.0[928]: Error: Cannot glob /sys/class/rc/rc0/input[0-9]*/event[0-9]*"
I suppose it is a bug, as lirc should work after upgrade without manual reconfiguration.

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:
  https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2396923

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