Although this is marked as "Invalid" for 20.04, this problem has somehow started happening in GitHub Actions Ubuntu 20.04 virtual environment since today (2020-07-24), even though it worked correctly before. I don't know if attaching the entire build log is desirable, but as the result of running these commands

I get, after many snipped lines, the following error:

and there don't seem to be any other errors in the output until these lines, so I have no idea why does this happen.

FWIW the same step of this workflow succeeds when run in Ubuntu 18.04-based GitHub virtual environment, but it doesn't have sufficiently up-to-date packages for building this software, so I can't use it and would really appreciate any workaround for this problem under 20.04.
