@tjaalton if you can do the upgrade, be my guest. In other words:

Title:
  FFe: darktable 2.6.3 in focal needs update to 3.0.1

Status in darktable package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 20.04 Focal Fossa LTS still only has darktable 2.6.3 in the
  official repositories.

  darktable 3.0.0 was released Dec 24, 2019, and darktable 3.0.1 was
  released March 09 2020.

  ( darktable feature releases are traditionally released each
  Christmas. )

  Please note that darktable 3.x is NOT backward compatible with
  darktable 2.6.3.  So there is no way for a user of a more current
  version of darktable to even use darktable 2.6.3.  A supplement
  problem is that running 2.6.3 when you have a 3.0.x db (eg. if
  upgrading Ubuntu to 20.04 in place) results in a totally silent fail
  at load.  Only if run from a terminal do you see the '... db is too
  new ...  Aborting ...' message.

  I'll submit a post to ubuntu-motu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx re this
