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

[Nils Kassube]

Obviously the keydependencies have not been found even though kdm was
installed. Or is it required to find both (all) keydependencies? Then
the explanation would be that kubuntu-artwork seems not to be available
from the kubuntu-backports-ppa and therefore wasn't installed.

Would it help if I send a list of the installed packages from before the
upgrade?

I made some more experiments. I used the default installation of Kubuntu
12.04 and then upgraded to the kubuntu-backports-ppa. Then I upgraded to
14.04 and the result was that lightdm was installed, no matter if
kubuntu-desktop was installed or not.

Then I removed the other packages which were not installed on the system
which produced the bug in question. The result of the upgrade to 14.04
was that kdm was removed and lightdm was not installed. I had a closer
look at the packages and found that ubuntu-minimal and ubuntu-standard
were not installed, so I repeated the experiment with these packages
included, but the result stayed the same (no display manager).
