[Bug 1726086] Re: Lubuntu - recent update problems related to xserver

[John Smith]

It seems there is a dependency conflict which makes it impossible to
have

    lubuntu-desktop

installed together with

    xserver-xorg-core-hwe-16.04


To avoid the problem, I downgraded and (re)installed the non-hwe xserver:

    sudo apt install xserver-xorg-core

This removed xserver-xorg-core-hwe-16.04 (as intended), but also lubuntu-desktop
and a few other things (as a side effect).  I then reinstalled these lost packages:

    sudo apt install xorg lubuntu-desktop

[Caution: after the first step (and reboot) the console was
nonresponsive, so the second step had do be done from an ssh login.]

I now have a clean system again, but the fact remains that lubuntu-
desktop (or one of its dependencies) and xserver-xorg-core-hwe-16.04
seem to be in conflict.



** Summary changed:

Bug description:
  Lubuntu 16.04 LTS - About two weeks ago the software updater started
  reporting problems, seemingly related to xserver.

  Tried to manually upgrade xserver-xorg-core-hwe-16.04, but cancelled
  because it wants to remove lots of packages including lubuntu-core.
