That's a known issue on Ubuntu based systems which build with
--as-needed by default. A fix was added in libgdal-grass (2.3.0-2)
triggered by https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeolive/ticket/2068.

This fix is also available in libgdal-grass (2.2.3-3~bionic0) in the
OSGeoLive PPA, but not in the ubuntugis-unstable PPA (any more). It's
possible that a later rebuild of the libgdal-grass package reverted the fix.

The libgdal-grass package in the UbuntuGIS PPA needs to be fixed. The
older package from bionic most likely also doesn't have this fix.
