Title:
  Update failed due to problem with ubuntu-desktop

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I launched software-updater as I usually do, and I was informed I
  needed to perform a "partial upgrade," and I agreed to the dist
  upgrade.

  The indicator showed various packages being downloaded, but next thing
  I knew a dialog appeared saying:

  "Can't install 'ubuntu-desktop' It was impossible to install a
  required package. Please report this as a bug using 'ubuntu-bug
  ubuntu-release-upgrader-core' in a terminal."

  So I did.
