Title:
  Apt deletes ubuntu-desktop during dist-upgrade

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  This morning I got surprised by my laptop booting to a tty instead of
  a desktop environment. It turned out that the entire desktop
  environment was no longer present on my machine. Doing an apt install
  ubuntu-desktop-minimal resolved the issue.

  The machine had been running for a while. Looking at the apt logs, it
  looks like apt deleted ubuntu-desktop on its own during a dist-upgrade
  a couple of weeks back.
