"how is it possible that gnome-panel isn't installed? when i installed
natty gnome-panel was installed." -- The OP

Your oops stupid moment does not solve his problem, and repeating your
statement does nothing more then try to take the mick of me... that
statement drew off yours onto his problem. I could care less if you
can't figure out what version of Ubuntu you are on... so you can stand
there upset thinking I was taking mick (when I wasn't at all) or you can
realise that I was attempting to help him figure out why gnome-panel was
not installed for him automatically because that is a problem that I am
interested in, I would like to know if it was a fluke, a problem with
ppa-purge or if there really is a dependency problem that needs to be
addressed.
