In that log, the indicator-messages recommends are resolved much earlier
than the xubuntu-desktop ones, so xfce4-indicator-plugin gets installed
too late.
We could change indicator-messages to not have indicator-applet as a
preferred recommendation, but I don't see how to change it to be robust,
working, and avoiding this.
I think a better approach is to drop the gnome-panel dependency from
indicator-applet. It doesn't seem necessary at all. Ken, what do you
think?

Bug description:
Hi,
I'm doing an upgrade test in a vm from Xubuntu 10.04 (up-to-date) to
12.04 (today, 2012-03-14), and what update-manager proposes me is a
bit messy: 600+ new packages to install, including unity and gnome
sessions, which obviously I don't want on Xubuntu (and the bandwidth
waste...).
(Hopefully apport will DTRT and attach the correct logs...)
From a quick look at apt.log, the trigger for that seems to be:
> Installing indicator-applet as Recommande of indicator-messages
But we already recommend a provider of 'indicator-renderer' in
xubuntu-desktop:
> new important dependency: xfce4-indicator-plugin:amd64
> Installing xfce4-indicator-plugin as Recommande of xubuntu-desktop
... not sure why update-manager chooses to install *both* of them.
Because of that, we have a nice cascading effect:
> Installing gnome-panel as Dépend of indicator-applet
[...]
> Installing gnome-applets as Recommande of gnome-panel
[...]
> Installing gnome-session as Recommande of gnome-panel
[...]
> Installing unity as Recommande of gnome-session
I guess you get the idea. ;-)
Thanks.
