Public bug reported: the package gammu-smsd to be released for focal has a grave error in it which fails the installation and what's worse fails the deinstallation henceforth. The problem is that apparently what's meant to be a variable (${CMAKE_INSTALL_FULL_BINDIR}) is not replaced during the build and ends up in /lib/systemd/system/gammu-smsd.service.
