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

[Gordon Lack]

remember that the information added refers to the system AFTER it was
upgraded to Plucky, so does nto reflect the system state at the time of
the problem.

I'll attach the actual state at the time next, in case it is of use.

Title:
  kubuntu-desktop removed on upgrade to Plucky

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  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.
