    <p>Tom,</p>
    <p>Thanks for this info. <br>
    </p>
    <p>I now discovered that, despite removing the "libgeos-3.7.0" by
      using Synaptic, I also had a secondary version living in my
      "/usr/local/lib/" folder. Purging all "libgeos" prefixed files
      with the command you supplied, indeed made it now possible to use
      CREATE EXTENSION for PostGIS in pgAdmin4. So there was a conflict
      lurking there in the "/usr/local/lib/" folder. I actually have no
      idea how the libgeos files ended up there, or why they weren't
      removed by Synaptic if that used to be the official installation
      folder.<br>
    </p>
    <p>I don't know if this is the only issue though, and would need to
      start to test the current installation properly in order to make
      sure everything is truly OK now, but it is at least a significant
      step forward.<br>

            <p>Hi Tom,</p>
            <p>Thanks for the tip, but what did you do to remove the old
              install? Did you rely on Apt or Synaptic to remove the old
              libgeos version, or did you manually clean up folders? I
              had two versions of libgeos as well (3.7 and 3.8) if I
              remember well (need to start up the VM again to check),
              and removed the older one through Synaptic just leaving
              the 3.8 version, but that wasn't enough to solve my
              particular issues.</p>

                    <p>I have seen a similar error related to the
                      "libgdal26" library, but that was after other
                      trials to get something running on Ubuntu 20.04

                      2.5.4, but then encountered issues when my code

                      errored out with the error message below related
                      to the "libgdal.so.26" library. However, as said,
                      this was with PostGIS 2.5.4, not with the PostGIS
                      3.0.1 I actually want to install at this moment
                      and that gave the other error related to the
