Bug Description
If you unthinkingly run it as a regular user, you get an oblique error message:
$ unminimize
This system has been minimized by removing packages and content that are
not required on a system that users do not log into.
This script restores the content and packages that are found on a default
Ubuntu server system.
Reinstallation of packages may fail due to changes to the system
configuration, the presence of third-party packages, or for other
reasons.
