Thanks for the heads up. The package dependencies should probably be fixed as well. Glad to hear you've now qualified zfs on Pi - it's worked fine for my limited use, so it gives me more confidence that I'm not going to run into trouble if I start stressing the box a bit more.

ZFS on the Pi under 20.04 is currently a bit problematic. Upon issuing the command 'zpool status', I'm helpfully directed to install zfsutils-linux. When I do this, it complains that it cannot find the ZFS module, then errors out. Worse than that, the zfsutils-linux package does not depend on the zfs-dkms package, so it doesn't attempt to build the ZFS kernel modules automatically. The workaround is to install zfs-dkms, which builds the required kernel modules. (Once this has been done, the usual errors when installing the zfsutils-linux package, caused by there being no ZFS pools on the system, can be worked around by creating a zpool, then rerunning 'sudo apt install zfsutils-linux', as with previous versions of Ubuntu and Debian). I have not tested on other hardware platforms - this problem may also exist on other platforms where the user has not selected to install to ZFS. I have selected 'zfsutils' as the affected package, which is not the name of an actual current package, since launchpad won't let me submit the bug without selecting a package, however it's not clear to me that the problem is caused by that package.
