Ubuntu 20.04 - Cannot install Wok - Package 'python-m2crypto' has no installation candidate

When attempting to install the listed dependencies for Wok on the wiki for install instructions under Ubuntu 20.04, I am getting the following error:

wolffstarr@nike:~$ sudo apt install systemd logrotate python3-psutil python3-ldap python3-lxml python3-websockify python3-jsonschema openssl nginx python3-cherrypy3 python3-chee
tah python3-pam python-m2crypto gettext python3-openssl

Package python-m2crypto is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

I have installed python3-m2crypto, but it is obviously not meeting the requirements. This is a fresh install of the Ubuntu 20.04 beta Live Server installer. Only additional changes are to install Cockpit Project. If it matters (can't see why it would) the platform is a Ryzen 5 1600 in an Asrock Rack X470D4U server board.

Having the same issue, definitely not hardware related. Probably due to Ubuntu removing python2 stuff for version 20. Can confirm that if you build the latest from source it works.

I worked around this issue by manually editing the dependencies of the deb package. This helped me a lot:

Changed python-m2crypto to python3-m2crypto

I do not see the virtualization tab in wok yet, though. Working on it ...

Yeah saw that, I built from source and Wok starts up and runs but can't see the virtualization tab either. Haven't had time to go back to it
