I have reinstalled, this time ticking "format" in the partition options, performing for once an actual "fresh" install -- the problem has not came back, so therefore I am no longer affected by this issue.
The issue either has as a source: 1) a bug in the daily build; 2) Colin forgetting (like me) to tick the "format" box while installing -- is that the case, Colin? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1040599 Title: ubiquity: Error restoring installed applications To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1040599/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
