make sure that you have ubuntu-desktop installed.

this is a meta package that depends on everything that you need for a complete ubuntu install. a few packages were added between warty and hoary (eg an update notifier). the hoary version of ubuntu-desktop depends on this, and will make sure it is installed. with out ubuntu-desktop you will only get new versions of packages that were already installed.

the ubuntu-desktop package can be removed from a system if you want to remove something like evolution or a package you dont need. it is save to remove ubuntu-desktop as it does not actually contain anything, but during upgrades it will save you a load of trouble
