Some of the files already exist and then the package manager steps on top of it. Instead of doing anything about it, it complains that a file already exists and just quits.

Hi Joshua,
Ubuntu does things very differently - can I suggest you chat first to the folks
who produce the main Ubuntu install media (which does have a live image
buried inside to do the install with) / some of the other Ubuntu desktop
variants and remixes.
It's likely that we won't be able to help directly because Ubuntu does
things differently - in Debian, this would be done by installing a
desktop metapackage or equivalent, but Ubuntu suggests a remix per
desktop.
All the very best, as ever,
Andy Cater
