[Bug 2107724] [NEW] kubuntu-desktop removed on upgrade to Plucky

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

I upgraded my (Kubuntu) laptop from Oracular to Plucky yesterday using:

   do-release-upgrade -d -m desktop

(I added the -d to allow it to happen - other systems I have were
reporting the update as being available).

The "Searching for obsolete software" stage took a very lone time
(20mins?) especially after it got to 95%.

After the final reboot I was presented with a strange login screen and a
virtual keyboard covering the bottom half. I couldn't login in.

So I opened a terminal (Ctl-Alt-F3) and discovered that kubuntu-desktop
has been removed!

Installing it (and all of the dependencies it pulled in) restored
sanity.

I've checked with the package status from before the upgrade (I have a
backup of the package statuses) and kubuntu-desktop was set to manually
installed.
