Thanks John That was indeed the problem. Downgrading libmysqlclient21 from 8.0.21ubuntu0.20.04.3 to 8.0.19-0ubuntu5 (sudo aptitude install libmysqlclient21=8.0.19-0ubuntu5) did the trick as per this bug report on Ubuntu re the opencv package, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/opencv/+bug/1890170 . 4.1 then built from the tarball with no problems.
Apparently on LM/Ubuntu aptitude is a better choice for downgrading than apt since it doesnt attempt to uninstall dependencies. This was from a 2012 post so that problem with apt may have been addressed by now.
