Title:
  during kubuntu-desktop upgrade to Natty, gnome packages are removed if
  python is hold back to <2.7

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “update-manager” source package in Natty:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager

  TEST CASE:
  1. use kubuntu maverick and install virt-manager
  2. install the obsolete dontzap package from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+package/dontzap (links to i386/amd64 debs)
  3. run the upgrade with update-manager and verify that it prompts for the removal of virt-manager
  4. cancel the upgrade
  5. run "update-manager --proposed"
  6. verify that this time it does not prompt for the removal of virt-manager

  
  Problem:

  * after the upgrade the Virt-Manager is gone.
  * after re-installing virt-manager it shows no VM's (a deeply disturbing discovery!)
  * after studying the problem for a while it turns out that qemu-kvm is also missing

  Fortunately, after re-installing qemu-kvm and restarting libvirt-bin
  and qemu-kvm everything appears to be okay.

  Thanks!
