Good question. The current status of these packages are:
pn ubuntu-base <none> (no description available)
pn kubuntu-desktop <none> (no description available)
ii linux-headers-2.6.10-5-amd64-k8 2.6.10-34.7 Linux kernel headers \
2.6.10 on AMD K8
ii linux-headers-2.6.12-9-amd64-k8 2.6.12-9.23 Linux kernel headers \
2.6.12 on AMD K8
ii linux-image-2.6.10-5-amd64-k8 2.6.10-34.7 Linux kernel image for \
version 2.6.10 on AMD K8.
ii linux-image-2.6.12-9-amd64-k8 2.6.12-9.23 Linux kernel image for \
version 2.6.12 on AMD K8.
There was nothing found for "ubuntu-desktop" and the 2.6.12-9.23 kernel I
installed manually. I don't think apt keeps a log of it's actions any
where but I do remember that kdevelop3-data, kdevelop3_4 and knemo packages
all required a little manual intervention (--force-overwrite) as they were
trying to install files that would trample files from other packages.
Other than that, the Hoary->Breezy upgrade "appeared" relatively
painless :-/
I have no idea of the status of ubuntu-base or kubuntu-desktop prior to the
upgrade, but I DO know the kernel was the 2.6.10-34.7 version. I remember,
because it surprised me that Breezy ended up on the same kernel as Hoary.
My laptop today went through this same Hoary->Breezy process without a
hitch. No manual intervention and the kernel went straight up the 2.6.12
(although it's a 686 flavoured kernel).
