This is really unbelievable.
Ubuntu is often used by educators. Educators use Scilab.
But the Scilab packages are broken in 18.04 LTS (bug 1884277 ), in 19.10 (EOL, bug 1877234) and in upcoming 20.04 LTS too (this bug 1870813 ).

Are you kidding?

  Scilab cannot create Scilab Java Main-Class (we have not been able to
  find the main Scilab class. Check if the Scilab and thirdparty
