I have a fresh install of 20.04, php 7 and have just ran apt install phpmyadmin followed all the procedures and now when navigating to localhost/phpmyadmin I am seeing:

[Sun Aug 08 14:51:58.410439 2021] [php7:warn] [pid 84550] [client 93.115.195.232:6537] PHP Warning:  require_once(PhpMyAdmin/MoTranslator/autoload.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/share/phpmyadmin/autoload.php on line 2
[Sun Aug 08 14:51:58.410486 2021] [php7:error] [pid 84550] [client 93.115.195.232:6537] PHP Fatal error:  require_once(): Failed opening required 'PhpMyAdmin/MoTranslator/autoload.php' (include_path='/usr/share/phpmyadmin') in /usr/share/phpmyadmin/autoload.php on line 2

This is what my autoload.php file looks like:

<?php
require_once 'PhpMyAdmin/MoTranslator/autoload.php';
require_once 'PhpMyAdmin/ShapeFile/autoload.php';
require_once 'PhpMyAdmin/SqlParser/autoload.php';
require_once 'Symfony/Component/ExpressionLanguage/autoload.php';
require_once 'phpseclib/autoload.php';
require_once 'Twig/autoload.php';
require_once 'Twig-Extensions/autoload.php';
require_once 'ReCaptcha/autoload.php';
require_once 'Psr/Container/autoload.php';
@include_once 'tcpdf/tcpdf.php';

I openly have no idea what PhpMyAdmin references to?

I had the same issue on a Ubuntu 20.04 with a PHP 7.4.3. The module autoload.php is located in /usr/share/php/PhpMyAdmin/MoTranslator/ but this path is unknown by PHP (in your case the include path have only this as per your error message: include_path='/usr/share/phpmyadmin').

To fix this I edited the php include_path in the php.ini file in (/etc/php/7.4/apache2/php.ini) so that it includes /usr/share/php/ at the end. e.g:

include_path = ".:/php/includes:/usr/share/pear/:/usr/lib/php/:/usr/share/php/"

(i just added :/usr/share/php/ to my existing include_path string)

Then after a restart of the apache server my phpmyadmin page loaded properly

This happened to me since I had an old Apache configuration (I was restoring from Debian 11 to Ubuntu 22.04).

I needed:

Alias /phpmyadmin /usr/share/phpmyadmin

<Directory /usr/share/phpmyadmin>
    Options SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
    DirectoryIndex index.php

    # limit libapache2-mod-php to files and directories necessary by pma
    <IfModule mod_php7.c>
        php_admin_value upload_tmp_dir /var/lib/phpmyadmin/tmp
        php_admin_value open_basedir /usr/share/phpmyadmin/:/usr/share/doc/phpmyadmin/:/etc/phpmyadmin/:/var/lib/phpmyadmin/:/usr/share/php/:/usr/share/javascript/
    </IfModule>

</Directory>

# Disallow web access to directories that don't need it
<Directory /usr/share/phpmyadmin/templates>
    Require all denied
</Directory>
<Directory /usr/share/phpmyadmin/libraries>
    Require all denied
</Directory>
