Public bug reported: Every time I try an upgrade, it shows a window that says: <Cannot install all the updates and a partial distribution upgrade is necessary.> However, after proceeding, the error pops out, saying: <Can't install 'ubuntu-desktop'. Run 'ubuntu-bug ubuntu-release-upgrader-core' in the terminal.> I looked on this website and there are quite a few of these bugs reported until last year, yet no one has been solved.
