Public bug reported: I've never seen this kind of issue in fresh installations of recent Kubuntu releases (Jammy, Noble, Oracular, Plucky) and I haven't seen any other formal report, so I thought I should report this to hopefully help avoid a rather unpleasant experience for the next 26.04 release which is supposed to be LTS.
A clean installation of Kubuntu 25.10, using the minimal installation option, resulted in the installation being deemed a failure because libreoffice* and konversation packages were not uninstalled (the packages were not present). Attempting the installation a second time resulted in the same issue. In the end, I decided to ignore the error and reboot anyway, and the system booted without apparent issue. If I understand correctly, minimal installation just takes the standard installation and removes certain packages thereafter. So maybe there's a mis-match for 25.10 in the standard installation packages and what's supposed to be subsequently uninstalled? I found a forum thread that describes the same situation that I experienced, at: https://www.kubuntuforums.net/forum/current-supported- releases/kubuntu-25-10-questing-quokka/688756-kubuntu-25-10-minimal- fail-to-install ** Affects: calamares (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: questing -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2127711 Title: Kubuntu 25.10 clean minimal installation fails on uninstallation of libreoffice and konversation packages To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/calamares/+bug/2127711/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
