---
Can't install 'ubuntu-desktop'
It was impossible to install a required package. Please report this as a bug
using 'ubuntu-bug update-manager' in a terminal.

Then dumps this into a terminal:

On a related note, `apt-get install -f` proposes to remove "ubuntu-

this "-f" flag always seemed too magical to me :-)
