[Bug 1020680] Re: unattended-upgrade removed kubuntu-desktop

[Ernst Kloppenburg]

With todays unattended-upgrade the same happened again: all packages
related to kubuntu-desktop were automatically uninstalled in the course
of the installation of the kde updates (to 4.8.4a).

If anybody has any idea how to track the cause down please give advice.
I have no better idea than a reinstall to work around it.

unattended-upgrades.log has this:
    2012-07-20 10:09:11,182 INFO Packages that are upgraded: akregator <long list>

but this excerpt from unattended-upgrades-dpkg_2012-07-20_10:09:11.182564.log shows the packages were upgraded and then uninstalled (grep kmail unatt...564.log):
