I experienced the same thing. However, I also experienced the installer
FAILING with a brief "oopsie" msg. When I rebooted, I was presented with
a COMMAND-LINE LOGIN PROMPT. In my case, I unchecked ALL optional
programs.

That might not be something anyone would normally do. Therefore, it
might not be a big problem.

HOWEVER, it does seem like a problem that the ERROR MSG DISAPPEARS. If
the user walked away to do something else during the install, and
returned to see a normal Live desktop, they'll have nothing to associate
with the resulting COMMAND-LINE LOGIN PROMPT. It will be much more
mysterious.

My bug-report was erroneously marked a duplicate of this one. I wanted
to make clear that there is SOMETHING ELSE/WORSE(?) HAPPENING.

Thank you (sorry for the shouting. I just wanted to emphasize what's
being ADDED TO THIS BUG REPORT, not merely a duplicate.).

Bug description:
  Ubuntu Studio's Installer has a feature where you can select and
  deselect programs you would like to be pre-installed on your system.

  However, whenever I deselect some programs, after I finish installing
  the system and then boot into it for the first time apt wants to
  remove a load of my programs with its autoremove feature.

  This includes programs I do intend to use and did not deselect. For
  example; I deselected Blender, and then Kdenlive (which I do want to
  use, and hadn't deselected) also got deleted.

  I explain it better in a video I did on Ubuntu Studio 19.10:
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pz_bwpPXXBc go to timestamp 1:18 which
  is where I begin to explain the problem.

  Thanks in Advance!
