Public bug reported:
lots of updates today, so i updated and started the install.
the install halted and warned me that my custom printer config was going
to be overwritten. fine with me so i click continue. another prompt
warns me that some packages will be removed (fast-user-switching,
nautilus, alacarte, others that i dont remember maybe ten total). and
the installation eventually halted. when i did a follow-up update,
update manager warned me that it could only perform a "partial" upgrade.
when i reboot, login leads me to a brown screen (no X session). i
checked and found that ubuntu-desktop had been removed during the
process.
i tried "apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" and have several errors for
missing dependencies that "will not be installed." (nautilus, alacarte,
i think libgnome was in there)
thats a VERY harsh upgrade bug!
i can provide more info, but i'm noobish, sry
