[Bug 1299953] Re: Please add 'ubuntu-gnome-desktop' to tasksel

[Colin Watson]

Adding ubuntu-gnome to tasksel should be enough to fix this, indeed.
This is one of those situations where metapackages don't quite provide
enough hints to apt to allow it to resolve alternative dependencies in
the way you want.  "apt-get install ubuntu-gnome-desktop" from a bare
system still won't work well, but you'll have the task option which
should.

  We need to add 'ubuntu-gnome-desktop' to tasksel to ease installation

  I performed a CLI install + only 'ubuntu-gnome-desktop' and I'll
  include the apt logs.
