[Bug 1641783] Re: Lubuntu alternate image doesn't install the packages in the standard and minimal tasks

[Simon Quigley]

** Summary changed:

- man or command not found commands not installed by alternate installer
+ Lubuntu alternate image doesn't install the packages in the standard and minimal tasks

** Description changed:

- To reproduce install Lubuntu from the alternate installer and then it
- will install an LXDE desktop you can log into but if you open aterminal
- and run the man command it says man not found.
+ Several commands are not found because while they are installed on the
+ Lubuntu Desktop image thanks to Ubiquity picking up those tasksel tasks,
+ it unfortunately is not installed when the Alternate images are
+ installed.
  
- lubuntu-desktop:
-   Installed: 0.72
-   Candidate: 0.72
-   Version table:
-  *** 0.72 500
-         500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu zesty/universe amd64 Packages
-         100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
- Description:	Ubuntu Zesty Zapus (development branch)
- Release:	17.04
- 
- I expected the alternate installer to install the man command so that it
- works out of the box just like the desktop installer images or ubuntu
- server. Instead lubuntu alterneate installer does not have the man
- command working or command not found.
