Rebooting after install I noticed that /var/lib/dpkg/ and /var/lib/apt/ are both empty in the installed system.

Hardware: Kubuntu Focus XE, 32 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD, 11th Gen Intel Core i5, UEFI, no secure boot. Testing done in GNOME Boxes, BIOS, 4 GB RAM, 50 GB disk space . OS is Ubuntu Desktop, Kinetic Final ISO. Steps to reproduce: 1. Boot the Ubuntu desktop ISO. 2. Select "Install Ubuntu" and proceed with the installation process. 3. When you get to the "Installation type" screen, select "Advanced Options", and enable ZFS + Encryption. 4. Proceed with the rest of the installation as normal. 5. Reboot into the newly installed system. 6. Log in. 7. Run "sudo apt update" in a terminal. Expected result: The package database should be updated normally. Actual result: You are presented with the following errors at the end of the apt output: Reading package lists... Error! E: flAbsPath on /var/lib/dpkg/status failed - realpath (2: No such file or directory) E: Could not open file - open (2: No such file or directory) E: Problem opening E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. Notes: Switching to a TTY will print a crash error message related to the same missing /var/lib/dpkg/status file. Running "sudo touch /var/lib/dpkg/status" will allow "sudo apt update" to function and fix the crashed process in the TTY. Once you log in, you'll notice that Firefox is missing (bug #1993279), and you will likely be presented with a ton of error messages and other scary junk. At least one of those error messages was related to update-manager in my experience, and another one was from "check-new- release-gtk".
