[Bug 1394659] [NEW] Cannot install 'ubuntu-desktop' when prompted to do a partial upgrade

[Andrea]

Public bug reported:

I just ran the standard Software Updater in ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS and I got
a popup stating that not all updates could be installed, and that it
could be due to the necessity of a partial upgrade. I installed all
available updates, then tried to do a partial upgrade and got this
message:

Can't install 'ubuntu-desktop'

It was impossible to install a required package. Please report this as a
bug [...]
