[Bug 1264887] Re: After upgrade 12.04 -> 14.04 there was no display manager (kdm or lightdm)

[Harald Sitter]

Two things:

1. if both are required then that has been broken for a long time because there has not been a kubuntu-artwork package for at least 5 years
2. if PPAness does affect the calculation, then I guess that needs to change to some degree since we pretty much support our own PPAs :S

Assuming 1. doesn't apply, enhancing the keydeps with some actual kubuntu stuff would help sufficiently though:
kubuntu-settings-desktop, kubuntu-notification-helper, kubuntu-debug-installer, kubuntu-web-shortcuts

Those do not get updates via PPAs and at the end of the day I suppose
those are the most reliable indicators of a kubuntu installation.

Title:
  After upgrade 12.04 -> 14.04 there was no display manager (kdm or
  lightdm)

Status in “ubuntu-release-upgrader” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “ubuntu-release-upgrader” source package in Trusty:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This Kubuntu machine had KDM installed before the upgrade from 12.04
  to 14.04. After the upgrade there was no display manager left, i.e.
  kdm was no longer installed and it wasn't replaced by lightdm like it
  happened on another machine with a fresh Kubuntu 12.04 system.

  The upgrade should either keep KDM or replace it by lightdm, but it
  should not leave the system in a state without display manager.
