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.
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]

When I went to /usr/share/doc/dmraid, the directory was empty

I reinstall
apt install --reinstall dmraid

Now I run dmraid -l
# dmraid -l

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. |
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.
Packages this effects include dmraid, libgtkmm ( which in turn breaks gparted, as it depends on that library ), and cifs-utils. There are probably more. |
