Hi,
There seems to be some confusion with the Ubuntu packages, does anyone have more insights?
And: do we need to change anything here:
https://grass.osgeo.org/download/software/linux/
?
Best

Thanks for the hint. Note that your advice is not yet an option: Focal QGIS packages are still absent from https://qgis.org/ubuntugis (contrary to Bionic), while they are present only in https://qgis.org/ubuntu.
On the other hand the GRASS website’s ‘quick link’ points to ppa:ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable for installation of GRASS on Ubuntu (i.e. including Focal). There, it is at 7.8.3 (for Focal and older). In the Ubuntu Focal universe repository, GRASS is at 7.8.2. Removing the PPA and re-installing GRASS from Ubuntu Focal solved the problem.
IMHO it would be nice if GRASS would point at the requirement for GRASS to be installed from a repository, compatible with the one holding qgis-plugin-grass, if the latter is to be installed. In the case of Ubuntu Focal this is not the ubuntugis-unstable PPA (yet). Suggestion @neteler
Actually not installing GRASS directly but only following the recommendations at https://qgis.org/en/site/forusers/alldownloads.html#debian-ubuntu to do sudo apt install qgis qgis-plugin-grass would work and install the compatible version of GRASS, provided that no conflicting repositories are activated (cf. the recommendation: “Please remove all the QGIS and GRASS packages you may have installed from other repositories before doing the update.”). However this would not yet install grass-doc and grass-gui, so to install GRASS one still would be guided towards the PPA following the GRASS website.
