Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: update-notifier
I am not sure if this could be considered a duplicate of the Adept bug,
two programs that do the same basic thing, in the same way, having the
same bug... too much similarity for me :-)
Anyway, here is the problem:
Ubuntu-Desktop relies on Update-Notifier which then relies on
Update-Notifier-Common. UN and UNC will not install together because they are
both trying to claim /usr/share/update-notifier/notify-reboot-required
Screen output:
# apt-get install -f update-notifier*
