After attempting a reinstall, I got the error again: this time, however,
I checked /var/log/syslog, and found this little gem:

"May  7 17:40:31 ubuntu ubiquity: Removing ecryptfs-utils ...
May  7 17:40:31 ubuntu ubiquity: ERROR: Cannot remove ecryptfs-utils, as it appears to be in use:
May  7 17:40:31 ubuntu ubiquity:        [/home/chris/.ecryptfs]
May  7 17:40:31 ubuntu ubiquity: dpkg: error processing ecryptfs-utils (--purge):
May  7 17:40:31 ubuntu ubiquity:  subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1"

That would make sense; that directory does indeed exist, AFAIK. I'll try
deleting it; however, this bug still applies, and results in a very
broken system.

(I also have screenshots of every GUI error, in case anyone is
interested)

Binary package hint: ecryptfs-utils

(I realise this is most likely a dupe; if so, I'm sorry, but I'm playing it safe by reporting nonetheless...)
