[Bug 1292281] [NEW] impossible to install a required package during 14.04 partial update

[vmerlet]

Public bug reported:

During 14.04 partial update, I encountered the following error :

Can't install 'ubuntu-desktop'

It was impossible to install a required package. Please report this as a
bug using 'ubuntu-bug ubuntu-release-upgrader-core' in a terminal.

Could not calculate the upgrade

An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade.

 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.

I tried updating through Synaptic and it worked ! Maybe a different
dependency solver ?
