[Bug 1749831] [NEW] Update failed due to problem with ubuntu-desktop

[Tommy Trussell]

Public bug reported:

I launched software-updater as I usually do, and I was informed I needed
to perform a "partial upgrade," and I agreed to the dist upgrade.

The indicator showed various packages being downloaded, but next thing I
knew a dialog appeared saying:

"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."

So I did.
