Public bug reported:
I've noticed that some of my debugging scripts that use lldb to launch
and debug processes don't work and hang indefinitely on Ubuntu Focal
with latest llvm toolchain installed.
The culprit is the fact that lldb API tries to launch a binary named
"lldb-server-10.0.0" which doesn't exist (installing lldb installs lldb-
server as a symlink to lldb-server-10 , but not lldb-server-10.0.0).
This becomes apparent when logging is enabled for the debugger:

Listener::StartListeningForEvents (broadcaster = 0x236c6f0, mask = 0x00020004)

1599167975.387954235 python process launch failed: unable to locate
lldb-server-10.0.0
This issue is simply resolved by making yet another symlink to lldb-server to
point to lldb-server-10.0.0 but without logging enabled, it isn't obvious where
the problem is.
This behavior can be observed by executing the attached python script
(slightly modified lldb example from https://lldb.llvm.org/use/python-
reference.html).
Expected behavior is that breakpoint is set and hit, but due to missing
lldb-server-10.0.0 binary, the process is never launched.
