[Bug 922310] Re: update-manager crashed with signal 5 in _XReply()

[Barry Drake]

I just tried to update Precise, and got the message telling me I could do a 'Partial Upgrade'.  I tried to do that, and upgrade manager said there was a problem with the desktop due to broken a gnome package.  I tried to do:
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop^

and was met with this: The following packages have unmet dependencies.
 gnome-session : Breaks: unity-2d (< 5.4~) but 5.2.1-0ubuntu2 is to be installed
 unity : Depends: libnux-abiversion-20120202.01
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. 

After re-booting, upgrade manager now crashes every time with the
message given above.  I am on Precise 32bit.
