Pi Desktop - Strange Behavior on First Reboot

Question

I have a 3B+ and the Pi Desktop case.

After installing the application package, I shutdown the Pi and then upon powering it back up, it starts to do a disk check. I've ran through these steps several times with a fresh Raspbian image each time and without fail, I always get this disk check when powering back up for the first time after installing the package. I've tried both the "official" v1.1.0 and the "unofficial" v1.1.7 packages and get the same results.

Is this expected behavior?

G'Day, I am willing to run your scenario if I can get a few more details. What is the name of the Raspbian base operating system you starting with? Confirm if you complete a software update/upgrade before attempting this install? I can then run you pkg install and see if the problem exists. Sean

Here's the usual cause: Before you power down, be sure you use a shutdown command either from the command line or the GUI. If you just turn power off, buffered file updates won't be written to Flash and/or disk and the file system will be corrupted.
