Yes I do:

install(
    TARGETS GluonCore
    RUNTIME DESTINATION bin
    LIBRARY DESTINATION ${LIB_INSTALL_DIR}
    ARCHIVE DESTINATION ${LIB_INSTALL_DIR}
    FRAMEWORK DESTINATION ${LIB_INSTALL_DIR}
)

install(
    TARGETS GluonAudio
    RUNTIME DESTINATION bin
    LIBRARY DESTINATION ${LIB_INSTALL_DIR}
    ARCHIVE DESTINATION ${LIB_INSTALL_DIR}
    FRAMEWORK DESTINATION ${LIB_INSTALL_DIR}
)

there is no COMPONENT specified at least for those two.

When something is install(...)ed without specifying a component then CMake put
them in the special "Unspecified" component which is builtin.

Now since you specify that you only want to package the following components:

#Component based settings
set(CPACK_COMPONENTS_ALL
    gluoncore
    gluonaudio
    gluoninput
    gluongraphics
    gluonengine
    gluonplayer
    gluonqtplayer
    gluoncreator
)

The "Unspecified" does not get packaged.

So the solution would be:

Verify ALL your install(...) statement in order to verify whether if
you specified the COMPONENT argument

and/or

add "Unspecified" to CPACK_COMPONENTS_ALL and check that this
component is empty.
