	~~==== MySQL root user cannot be used ====~~
	On Ubuntu 20.04 LTS rather than prompting you to set a password for MySQL server when installing this as a dependency, it just installs it without. However, this means on the root user can login to MySQL to add a database. As "epadmin create" runs at the eprints user, this will not be able to create a database for EPrints. The get round this as the root user connect to MySQL (just type "mysql" at the command line) and type the following two commands. You will want to set your own password (i.e. not 'changeme') , you may also want to restrict which databases the eprints user has control over. If you know the "Archive ID" you are going to use.
	~~CREATE USER 'eprints'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED by 'changeme';~~
	~~GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON . TO 'eprints'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION;~~

	~~==== xpdf package no longer exists ====~~
	~~The Deb package xpdf is no longer available in Ubuntu 20.04. xpdf is probably no longer needed so if installing from source use the following APT command line:~~

	~~apt-get install perl libncurses5 libselinux1 libsepol1 apache2 libapache2-mod-perl2 libxml-libxml-perl \~~
	~~libunicode-string-perl libterm-readkey-perl libmime-lite-perl libmime-types-perl libdigest-sha-perl \~~

	==== ~~MySQL deprecated syntax~~ ====		==== Previous issues ====
	~~MySQL~~ no longer ~~supports creating~~ a ~~user as part of the GRANT PRIVILEGES command, which causes problems with~~ EPrints ~~if below version~~ 3.4.2. ~~Therefore, perl_lib~~/~~EPrints/Database/mysql.pm needs~~ to ~~be patched. This can be done by~~ using ~~the [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eprints/eprints3.4/master/perl_lib/~~EPrints~~/Database/mysql.pm latest version of mysql.pm on GitHub] if the Eprints version being installed is under~~ 3.4.2.		; ''xpdf'' Deb package no longer exists : This has been removed as a dependency since EPrints 3.4.3.
			; MySQL deprecated syntax : <code>GRANT PRIVILEGES</code> command in used by ''epadmin'' has been modified to avoid using deprecated syntax since EPrints 3.4.3.
