Title:
After update, Unity and Ubuntu Desktop are gone. Cannot reinsatll
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
After doing an update and rebooting the computer, I was no longer able to get
the unity desktop. I had to revert to unity 2D. From the synaptic package
manager, I tried reinstalling unity, but received dependancy errors. The error
said that I needed unity_5.12+bzr2444ubuntu0+709, but
unity_5.12+bzr2445ubuntu0+709 was installed. I also tried reinstalling
ubuntu-desktop, but it's dependancy said I needed unity to install. Next, I
tried downloading unity_5.12+bzr2444ubuntu0+709_amd64.deb. I insalled it by
using sudo dpkg -i --force all unity_5.12+bzr2444ubuntu0+709_amd64.deb. This
worked and the unity desktop came back. However, now I am unable to do any
updates at all. When I run the update manager, it tells me I need a partial
update, and then I recieve a message that says "An unresolvable problem
occurred while calculating the upgrade:
The package 'unity' is marked for removal but it is in the removal blacklist".
This can be caused by:
* Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu
This is most likely a transient problem, please try again later.
Any effort I make to fix any broken packages forces me to remove unity
which I want to have functioning.
I am runing Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit. Is ther any way to fix this problem
short of doing a new installation? If I remove unity, I am forced to
go back to the unity 2D desktop.
