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

Fri Jul 29 08:48:01 UTC 2016

Public bug reported:

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]

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.
