I had this issue and I also managed to solve it with (I think) pure luck.
I had an old LTS installed, and wanted to upgrade to 18.04. I decided to do a
clean install with a live-USB. I got this error but tried anyway. The
installation never finished and my system was broken. I recently tried again,
but this time I chose to NOT format / and I also didn't specify to use my old
/home as /home. The installation then went flawlessly and I had a working
18.04.3 installation.
However, I managed to install with a new username, not the one I had
been using. This meant I had no access to my old user files. I then
reinstalled again with the correct username, and again the install went
flawlessly. But I could not log in, I just got sent back to the login
prompt. I then installed ecryptfs-utils via tty, and log in now works
and my system is fine.
I'm not sure if this is helpful or related to this bug, but hopefully it
is.
