Installing Ubiquity on a bootable USB drive does not retrieve all dependencies for a smooth installation #105

I made a bootable USB stick that serves as a portable installation of Linux Mint, for the purpose of testing the operating system on different computers while carrying over large additional programs such as Wine.

I wanted to use this stick to install Linux Mint, but after proceeding up to deciding to install additional media codecs, I could not proceed further. ubi-prepare was failing with exit code 127, and the program advised that proceeding may result in installation errors.

/var/log/syslog revealed that ubi-prepare could not find a specific command: bump-virtualbox-resolution, which is provided by the mint-live-session package. Despite apparently being required to install Linux Mint without the possibility of error, mint-live-session is not a dependency of ubiquity.

This strikes me as either a packaging error or a programming error in Mint's version of Ubiquity.
