Greetings,

I am running K3b under Kubuntu Focal. When I attempt to rip an audio cd to either FLAC or OGG, the process immediately abends with the error "could not load libcdparanoia." The error occurs on both of the two PCs I use with Kubuntu. On one of them, I tried removing cdparanoia and reinstalling, with no improvement. (When I removed cdparanoia, K3b showed as not installed; I reinstalled both.)

I am, however, able to rip files on a utility PC running Xubuntu Focal with a fresh install of K3b and all updates current.

Any suggestions are appreciated.
