Title:
  Upgrade to 11.10 beta broken at installing ubuntu-dekstop

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Running `update-manager -d` from terminal asks to run a partial
  upgrade and fails at it with the message in a dialog box:

  Can't install 'ubuntu-desktop'

  It was impossible to install a required package. Please report this as a bug using 'ubuntu-bug update-manager' in a terminal.

  Then dumps this into a terminal:

  On a related note, `apt-get install -f` proposes to remove "ubuntu-
  desktop" which I'm afraid to do. I don't know what's happening here,
  this "-f" flag always seemed too magical to me :-)
