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] /. /usr /usr/share /usr/share/bug /usr/share/bug/dmraid /usr/share/bug/dmraid/script /usr/share/initramfs-tools /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/dmraid /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/dmraid /usr/share/doc /usr/share/doc/dmraid /usr/share/doc/dmraid/README /usr/share/doc/dmraid/TODO /usr/share/doc/dmraid/CREDITS /usr/share/doc/dmraid/copyright /usr/share/doc/dmraid/KNOWN_BUGS /usr/share/man /usr/share/man/man8 /usr/share/man/man8/dmevent_tool.8.gz /usr/share/man/man8/dmraid.8.gz /lib /lib/udev /lib/udev/rules.d /lib/udev/rules.d/97-dmraid.rules /sbin /sbin/dmraid /sbin/dmraid-activate /usr/share/doc/dmraid/changelog.Debian.gz When I went to /usr/share/doc/dmraid, the directory was empty # cd /usr/share/doc/dmraid # vi README # ls # vdir total 0 I reinstall apt install --reinstall dmraid # ls changelog.Debian.gz copyright CREDITS KNOWN_BUGS README TODO Now I run dmraid -l # dmraid -l dmraid: error while loading shared libraries: libdmraid.so.1.0.0.rc16: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory # apt-file search libdmraid.so.1.0.0.rc16 libdmraid1.0.0.rc16: /lib/libdmraid.so.1.0.0.rc16 # apt list libdmraid* Listing...

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.
