** Description changed:

- In a fresh/clean install of Xubuntu 18.10, if an unsuspecting user runs
- 'apt autoremove', it will remove 'cryptsetup' and 'lvm2' making the
- system non-bootable at next restart if an encrypted(LUKS+LVM) drive was

+ non-bootable at next restart if an encrypted(LUKS+LVM) root partition
+ was selected during the ubiquity installer wizard:
  
  $ sudo apt update && sudo apt --auto-remove full-upgrade && cat /run/reboo*
  <snip...>
  The following packages will be REMOVED:
-   cryptsetup cryptsetup-bin cryptsetup-initramfs cryptsetup-run dmeventd 
libdevmapper-event1.02.1 liblvm2app2.2 liblvm2cmd2.02 libreadline5 lvm2
+   cryptsetup cryptsetup-bin cryptsetup-initramfs cryptsetup-run dmeventd 
libdevmapper-event1.02.1 liblvm2app2.2 liblvm2cmd2.02 libreadline5 lvm2
  <...snip>
  
  This _will_ make the system non-bootable upon restart if LUKS+LVM are
- active on main drive.
+ active on the root partition. This would, by extension, make any auto-
+ mounted partitions(home, etc.) unavailable after boot as well!
  
  WORKAROUND:
  
  $ sudo apt install cryptsetup lvm2
  <snip...>
  cryptsetup is already the newest version (2:2.0.4-2ubuntu2).
  cryptsetup set to manually installed.
  lvm2 is already the newest version (2.02.176-4.1ubuntu3).
  lvm2 set to manually installed.
