That's a bit tricky, I think the scenario is something approaching what
follows.
The system refuses to upgrade python because of the dependency of dontzap
(depends on python <<2.7, from jaunty ?)
Then the upgrader decides to removes gconf2 because python is more importance
and kept back. Nothing prevents from doing this because ubuntu-desktop is not
installed since it is a kubuntu based system (kubuntu-desktop is installed and
detected)
With the removal of gconf2, most of the gnome packages have been removed
as well, and many others have been kept to the version in Maverick.
You're currently running a version of Ubuntu somewhere between maverick
and natty.
I'll attach a list of the packages removed and not upgraded to help you
in recovering your system.
I'm marking this report as triaged/medium, but I think it is really a
corner case.
