Public bug reported:

This is in Jaunty 9.04

Just ran Partial Upgrade today. I got an error message - "Can't install
ubuntu-desktop. It was impossible to install a required package. Please
report this as a bug"

I followed the advice to "-f install" and I got this reply from the
terminal:

sudo apt-get -f install ubuntu-desktop
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
ubuntu-desktop is already the newest version.
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies.
  ubuntu-desktop: Depends: gnome-app-install but it is not going to be installed
                  Recommends: gnome-games but it is not going to be installed
                  Recommends: ubufox but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a 
solution).

The tried to -f install the unmet dependencies:

sudo apt-get -f install gnome-app-install gnome-games ubufox

Hope this helps, if there's any other info you need I'll try to get it
for you.
