** Description changed:
- In addition to an earlier bug report
- (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1593398) I have
- found another package with missing files on a system that was installed
- per the Kubuntu 16.04 64-bit ISO.
+ It appears that Ubiquity removes various packages as the final step of
+ the installation. It appears to do this in two phases however: first it
+ deletes the files they contain, and then in the second phase it updates
+ the dpkg status database to indicate they are no longer installed. The
+ second phase is not performed if grub fails to install, leaving the
+ target system with packages marked as installed, but missing their
+ files. This should not happen.
- Package _dmraid_ was installed and I could display its file list with
- dpkg -L dmraid.

- dmraid/xenial,now 1.0.0.rc16-4.2ubuntu3 amd64 [installed]

- Basically it is the same thing I have experienced with the Kubuntu 16.04
- "cifs-utils" package; files were missing; or must have been missing.
- Upon first install, and (back then) upon load of the live DVD.
-
- There have been no actions on my system that could have wiped out the
- files of those packages (in isolation of anything else). Most other
- things just work and I have not had complaints of any other missing
- files, save for this one and cifs-utils, apparently. I will likely soon
- need to reinstall Kubuntu, so I can check the Live DVD for that. (A
- VirtualBox image of course would equally be possible). But I will wait
- with further investigation myself until I have booted that Live DVD.
- Regards.
+ Packages this effects include dmraid, libgtkmm ( which in turn breaks
+ gparted, as it depends on that library ), and cifs-utils. There are
+ probably more.
