[Bug 1611896] Re: can't install recommended updates

[Thomas A Kulenkamp]

I tried to install ubuntu-desktop by:

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

in a terminal window and it said I already had the latest desktop. See
attached dialog.

Is there another way to install the package ubuntu-desktop?

Afterwards I tried the update again and I still get the same errors.
