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

[Rik Mills]

Thank you very much for that. This is quite possibly a duplicate of bug
#2106202 but I will hold off marking it as such for now.

Title:
  kubuntu-desktop removed on upgrade to Plucky

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

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.
