After following migration steps on Ubuntu 20.04, seahub failed to start. The seahub.log had the following

Unfortunately, the requirement for MariaDB 10.4 is not mentioned anywhere in the upgrade notes. This should have been done as the django.db.utils is packaged as part of Seafile.

And MariaDB 10.4 does not come in the Ubuntu repos for Ubuntu 20.04.
