Yes, as you full well know by now (from the other bug ;-)) (because I am
the same person) (but for clarity on this bug report): Indeed grub-
install from the regular grub failed and I had to use my own grub
version to get it to boot.

But the peculiar thing is that I remember this also to be the case for
the running LIVE version of Kubuntu while using that live version; ie.
installed packages (in this case, only cifs-utils) also had their files
missing in the LIVE session.

I can't say more now, see ya.

Title:
  cifs-utils corrupt (Kubuntu 16.04)

Status in cifs-utils package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  This isn't really a bug against ubiquity.

  It's just that on installs of Kubuntu 16.04, the package "cifs-utils"
  IS installed but it is borked.

  MAYBE I AM MISTAKEN AND IT IS JUST A VERSION DIFFERENCE.

  But after reinstalling, mount -t cifs works as normal, but before
  reinstalling, it requires full parameters.

  ie. after reinstall, it is sufficient to type : mount //host/share
  /mnt -t cifs -o username=bla

  before, it requires: IP, and password on options line. So although I
  cannot check now; it seems that there were files missing from that
  package that ought to be installed.
