[Bug 946539] [NEW] gnome-session removed during partial upgrade to Precise Beta1

[Allison Randal]

Public bug reported:

During a partial upgrade to Precise Beta1 last night, update-manager
removed a large number of packages, including gnome-session. The machine
would boot to the login screen, but logging in (with the correct
password) would simply return to the login screen again with no error
message. The login screen also gave no options for different sessions
(Ubuntu, Ubuntu 2D, etc).
