[Bug 828759] Re: package ubuntu-desktop 1.240 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured

[Martin Pitt]

http://paste.ubuntu.com/674379/ is the verbose output from dist-upgrade.
There is a lot of stuff, but this started happening when we moved the
at-spi2-core recommends to a depends.

When doing "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" the upgrade actually
removes all the obsolete at-spi/python-atspi packages, but a mere dist-
upgrade rather removes ubuntu-desktop.

Is it really necessary for at-spi2-core to Conflicts: at-spi? Can the
two be co-installed on upgrade, and be removed through the normal main
-> universe demotion cleanup? If they are both installed, do bad things
happen?

** Package changed: ubuntu-meta (Ubuntu Oneiric) => at-spi2-core (Ubuntu
Oneiric)

** Changed in: at-spi2-core (Ubuntu Oneiric)

Bug description:
  Upgraded to oneiric with errors, the system is broken.
  Whenever I try to install or reinstall packages I get debsums errors and can't perform the operation(see below). Moreover, since installing updates for banshee and firefox, they don't work anymore because they freeze on startup and eat %100 CPU!!! (See #830012 for banshee)
