[Bug 847853] Re: upgrade from natty to oneiric fails to satisfy ubuntu-desktop dependencies

[Nick Moffitt]

Trying to install ubuntu-desktop manually gets me:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
ubuntu-desktop is already the newest version.
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 gnome-session : Depends: unity but it is not going to be installed or
                          unity-2d but it is not going to be installed or
                          gnome-shell (>= 3.0) but it is not going to be installed
 ubuntu-desktop : Depends: unity but it is not going to be installed
                  Depends: unity-2d but it is not going to be installed
                  Recommends: brasero but it is not going to be installed
                  Recommends: deja-dup but it is not going to be installed
                  Recommends: empathy but it is not going to be installed
                  Recommends: nautilus-share but it is not going to be installed
                  Recommends: thunderbird-gnome-support but it is not going to be installed
                  Recommends: usb-creator-gtk but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
