I'm sorry, I don't think that is an acceptable workaround. Take a look
at what happens on a system with both mythbuntu-desktop and xubuntu-
desktop installed:
sa...@satyr:~$ sudo aptitude -f install
[...]
The following packages are BROKEN:
xubuntu-desktop
[...]
The following packages will be REMOVED:
xubuntu-default-settings{p}
[...]
xubuntu-desktop: Depends: xubuntu-default-settings but it is not installable
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:
Remove the following packages:
xubuntu-desktop
[...]
sa...@satyr:~$ sudo aptitude -f install xubuntu-default-settings+M
[...]
The following packages are BROKEN:
mythbuntu-desktop
The following packages will be REMOVED:
mythbuntu-default-settings{a}
The following packages will be upgraded:
xubuntu-default-settings
[...]
mythbuntu-desktop: Depends: mythbuntu-default-settings but it is not
installable
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:
Remove the following packages:
mythbuntu-desktop
sa...@satyr:~$ aptitude why xubuntu-default-settings
iB xubuntu-desktop Depends xubuntu-default-settings
sa...@satyr:~$ aptitude why mythbuntu-default-settings
i mythbuntu-desktop Depends mythbuntu-default-settings
I think, if you're going to take this route, that the Depends of both packages
need to weaken their Depend into a Recommends. That will probably bring a host
of other problems with it, but it is safer than breaking installations, imho.
