[Koha] Koha installation puzzles

[King, Fred]

Esteemed colleagues,

I'm running into some bumps while I'm setting up a Koha installation. I'm using:
   An Ubuntu server from Digital Ocean, 20.04. (In Toronto, if that makes any difference.)
   Koha 20.11x
   Using packages from mirrors.digitalocean.com

While I'm installing koha-common, right before the end, this happens:
   The following plugins have been enabled:
      rabbitmq_stomp
   started 1 plugins
[that's normal, but then nothing happens for a couple of minutes, and I get this:]
   Failed to enable unit: Unit /run/systemd/generator.late/koha-common.service is transient or generated.
[then setup returns to normal]

I've never seen this before, and I've done a LOT of Koha installations. Any ideas of what's happening?


I also want to add Memcached. (If it matters, I've also installed plack.) The instructions at https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_ubuntu_-_packages say:
   If you want to use memcached:
       This may need to be installed first with: sudo apt-get install memcached
       Include --use-memcached
[then the next line is:]
   sudo koha-create --create-db library

Problem is, I can't figure where to include -use-memcached. All right, I have a bad case of Basement Brain. Could someone un-confuse me?


And finally, when I try to install a language with
   Sudo koha-translate -install fr-FR
for example, I get the warning
   connection to '__MEMCACHED_SERVERS___' failed
and warnings that performance will suffer greatly.
Then when I try to install another language such as es_ES, de_DE, or am_ETHI, I get a message that the language is not available. Later in the installation I get the option to use FR, so it seems to have been installed.
The Memcached settings in /etc/koha/sites/library/koha-conf.xml appear to be correct.

It's dinnertime here in North American Eastern Time, but I'll be back on Monday. Thanks to anyone who can point me in the right direction.
