Missing Dock Settings in GNOME Control Center After Ubuntu 17.10 Upgrade

dockgnome-control-centerubuntu-dock

I've just upgraded to Ubuntu 17.10 and am missing the Ubuntu Dock settings, i.e. in gnome-control-center the dock settings are blank:

enter image description here

I think I might be missing the "ubuntu-dock" package, but can't find this anywhere in the software centre.

Also the gnome-control-center was completely missing after the update, and I had to install this separately – not sure if this is related.

I think this is different from ubuntu-dock settings not accessible in gnome-control-center by default because changing the type of GNOME session doesn't fix the problem. If I go for GNOME* I get no Dock settings section at all, and if I got for Ubuntu* I get the blank Dock settings section described above.

Output of apt-cache policy gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock:

rob@rob-pc:~$ apt-cache policy gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock
gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 0.7

Ubuntu Dock doesn't seem to be installed, you can verify it by running

apt-cache policy gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock

There should be an Installed: (none) line in the output. If so, you may install it by running the following command in Terminal:

sudo apt install gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock

If Ubuntu Dock is installed and you still don't find the settings, see this: ubuntu-dock settings not accessible in gnome-control-center by default
