Title:
  The package 'ubuntu-desktop' is marked for removal but it is in the
  removal blacklist

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager

  Can't guess meta-package

  Your system does not contain a ubuntu-desktop, kubuntu-desktop, xubuntu-desktop or edubuntu-desktop package and it was not possible to detect which version of Ubuntu you are running.
   Please install one of the packages above first using synaptic or apt-get before proceeding.

  When i click partial upgrade. This was shown followed by,

  Could not calculate the upgrade

  An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade:
  The package 'ubuntu-desktop' 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


  So by any chance do i need to upload anything or did i do anything
  wrong. Please correct me. Thanks.
