Comment 34 for bug 559582

One of the other workarounds would have been a lot better. This bug bit me with the released version of lucid, and I don't really appreciate having to spend however many hours hacking around it to fix package dependencies. It bit me because instead of doing a dist-upgrade, I just did apt-get install ubuntu-desktop. Please make sure that package dependencies are actually correct and solve the problem, rather than hacks that do not work for everyone. I'm seriously considering switching back to plain old debian for my desktop, because every time I upgrade my ubuntu + kubuntu + xubuntu system something breaks, and it never did break this badly with Debian.
