I got the same error but under difference circumstances:

A few weeks ago I installed a fresh copy of Ubuntu 11.04 Alpha 3 (Natty
Narwhal) and just now am receiving a "partial upgrade". (Doesn't Beta 1
come out next week?) When I accepted the upgrade I got the "Can't
install ubuntu-desktop" error but no other errors. I'm am still
upgrading as I write, so I will update this thread if I get any other
errors.

Title:
  Dist-upgrade "can't install ubuntu-desktop" on todays upgrade

Status in Ubuntu Studio:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hi there,

  I just did a clean install of Ubuntu studio on opening day. Works like
  a charm...that is until today when I was told there were updates
  available (beagle and pidgin from memory). I said go for it, it said
  something about only being able to do a partial update, which I chose
  and now dist-upgrade is coming up with an error:

  "Can't Install Ubuntu-Desktop

  It was impossible to install a required package. Please report this as
  a bug."

  there is also an error in /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log (attached)
  that says:

  "Investigating ubuntu-desktop
  Package ubuntu-desktop has broken dep on ubuntu-sounds
    Considering ubuntu-sounds 1 as a solution to ubuntu-desktop 9999
