I'm sorry, I don't think that is an acceptable workaround. Take a look at what happens on a system with both mythbuntu-desktop and xubuntu- desktop installed: sa...@satyr:~$ sudo aptitude -f install [...] The following packages are BROKEN: xubuntu-desktop [...] The following packages will be REMOVED: xubuntu-default-settings{p} [...] xubuntu-desktop: Depends: xubuntu-default-settings but it is not installable The following actions will resolve these dependencies: Remove the following packages: xubuntu-desktop [...] sa...@satyr:~$ sudo aptitude -f install xubuntu-default-settings+M [...] The following packages are BROKEN: mythbuntu-desktop The following packages will be REMOVED: mythbuntu-default-settings{a} The following packages will be upgraded: xubuntu-default-settings [...] mythbuntu-desktop: Depends: mythbuntu-default-settings but it is not installable The following actions will resolve these dependencies: Remove the following packages: mythbuntu-desktop sa...@satyr:~$ aptitude why xubuntu-default-settings iB xubuntu-desktop Depends xubuntu-default-settings sa...@satyr:~$ aptitude why mythbuntu-default-settings i mythbuntu-desktop Depends mythbuntu-default-settings I think, if you're going to take this route, that the Depends of both packages need to weaken their Depend into a Recommends. That will probably bring a host of other problems with it, but it is safer than breaking installations, imho. -- Unable to change the default session for GDM https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/403291 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
