      docs/building.md states that "To build MongoDB, you will need:

      • `libcurl4-openssl-dev`
      • `libcurl4-nss-dev`
      • `libcurl4-gnutls-dev`"

      But on vanilla Ubuntu 20.04 (perhaps others as well), also `liblzma-dev` is required. Suggested update:

      On Ubuntu, the lzma library is required. Install `liblzma-dev`
