I should mention that this is using the daily build ISO from: https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/daily-live/current/ The other related bugs all used the Ubuntu installer, so I'm positive it's that. Critical packages are not being marked appropriately, and subject top auto-removal.
I'm sorry that this happened. However it doesn't have anything to do with Discover, since you use your distro's own package management facilities, not any KDE software. You would need to report this to the Ubuntu folks.
Created attachment 146020 [details] attachment-2833-0.html Ah, gotcha. Not a big deal, I just had to restore the first 3 partitions and it was back to normal. I can't say someone trying the distro for the first time wouldn't be p*ssed, tho. I will try to report tonight, Ubuntu bug reporting is a pain compared to KDE.
