[Bug 1008014] Re: Package is not installed with ubuntu desktop

[Lord Delta]

@Timo...its not invalid.

Its a bug if the package to install the unity ubuntu desktop fails to
produce software in a working state, because it has an invalid
dependency. The ONLY reason I would have originally "uninstalled" the
compiz-gnome would have been in-advertently, whilst my system was
failing to upgrade correctly. Thus, your logic is flawed, this is still
very much a bug. When and if this does happen, there shouldn't be a
dependency on something that doesn't actually provide what the software
needs to function correctly. If you don't think its a "bug", what do you
call it? Gross package-dependency mismanagement? I'm saying that the kde
| gnome part shouldn't be a valid dep configuration.
