** Description changed:
+ [Impact]
+ Installing 'gnome-shell' fails to install 'gnome-session' so no GNOME session
is offered at login which could lead a user to install unneeded packages such
as the metapackage 'gnome' in search of a solution.
+
+ [Test Case]
+ Install and update Ubuntu Trusty, then install the package 'gnome-shell'. Log
out and you'll find that no GNOME session is available for login. Install
'gnome-session', log out again and you'll then find that GNOME is available as
a login option.
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+ None, gnome-session provides the session files for a
+ gnome-shell session, therefore it must be installed to use gnome-shell.
+ This dep was just missied up until now, since the ubuntu-gnome meta
+ package pulls it in anyway.
+
+ *****************************************************
It appears that gnome-session is no longer on default install. In that case
if a user installs gnome-shell they'll not get a log in for it.
(may also need dep on gnome-control-center??
