Public bug reported:
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.
** Affects: upgrade-system (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Package changed: ubuntu => upgrade-system (Ubuntu)
