[Bug 1607687] Re: dmraid and libdmraid missing files (Kubuntu 16.04)

[Phillip Susi]

I have seen this happen with libgtkmm as well.  From what I can tell, it
seems to happen when the installer fails to install grub at the end, and
then I have to manually install grub to get the system to boot.  Did
this happen to you?  Can you attach your /var/log/installer files?

Bug description:
  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]

  I reinstall

  apt install --reinstall dmraid

  Now I run 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.
