Public bug reported: Having run apt-get update, apt-get upgrade this morning, part of the package process removed unity and compiz from the system, I think due to broken dependencies: The following packages have unmet dependencies. unity : Depends: compiz but it is not going to be installed Depends: compiz-core-abiversion-20120216 but it is not installable Depends: libnux-abiversion-20120212.01 but it is not installable Depends: compiz-plugins-main-default but it is not going to be installed Recommends: unity-lens-video but it is not going to be installed Recommends: indicator-printers but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. Clearly this shouldn't happen (removing the core GUI elements from the system). Could this be resolved?
