[Bug 1264610] [NEW] Can't install 'ubuntu-desktop' during upgrade from 10.04 to 12.04

Sat Dec 28 01:31:46 UTC 2013

Public bug reported:

During distribution upgrade (10.04 to 12.04) from update manager
(approximately at "Setting software channels" step) I got an error
dialog:

Can't install 'ubuntu-desktop'

It was impossible to install a required package. Please report this as a
bug using 'ubuntu-bug update-manager' in a terminal.

This is similar to bug #40552, which was closed as won't fix. Although,
10.04 is not supported, I report this issue because the behavior is
different. It is actually better. I don't get the additional dialogs and
it is possible to continue in installation. However, the original reason
for problems is still here and the question is if this issue will repeat
also for 12.04 to 14.04 transition.

Adding files from /var/log/dist-upgrade/ as attachments as requested (at
least main.log, term.log is empty and Launchpad allows me to add only
one attachment for initial report submit). Correction: system adds files
automatically, so noting that the added main.log is after continuing the
upgrade for a while.
