Bug ID: 359120
Summary: Muon update removed Kubuntu desktop
Product: muon
Version: 5.4.2
Platform: Other
URL: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14991431/
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: critical
Priority: NOR
Component: updater
Assignee: echidna...@kubuntu.org

On February 2nd, 2016, I did a fresh install of Kubuntu 15.10 64 bit on my
laptop (Core 2 Duo, 2GB ram). Install was fine, restarted the system and
Kubuntu loaded fine. On logging in, I was prompted by Muon to update the
system. To my bad, I did not check the exact packages that it was proposing to
change. Importantly, Muon did not inform me that packages were going to be
removed. The update, on finishing, prompted a system restart. After that, the
system hung during the boot.
After some troubleshooting, and booting into recovery mode, I was able to check
the apt logs, and I saw that the last entry removed a whole bunch of packages,
including all Kubuntu desktop packages. On the advice of a user on the Kubuntu
irc, I reinstalled Kubuntu desktop, and now, I'm my Kubuntu desktop is back. I
have not run Muon update since.
I'm attaching (check the url for paste) my log/apt/history.log . The last
entry (Start-Date: 2016-02-05 15:32:18) is my Kubuntu desktop reinstall, and
the one prior to that (Start-Date: 2016-02-05 11:20:07) is, I'm assuming, what
Muon update did on restart.
Reproducible: Didn't try
