[Bug 659438] Re: Installation/Removal fails because of package which could not be located (failure in apt.Cache.required_download)

[John Weintraub]

Actually, what the problem is has to do with launchpad and its failure 
to terminate due to resolution. Blaming Ubuntu for launchpad is like 
blaming the roadway if a bus hits a pedestrian. I understand your 
frustration, but don't blame Ubuntu for it.
