gnome-session depends on ubuntu-session

[Fred]

ubuntu-session depends on gnome-session which sounds okay with me.
But why does gnome-session depend on ubuntu-session?

It sounds like a circular dependency and it sounds unnecessary to me.

Is this a mistake?

I can't upgrade 'gnome-session'.

It tries to:

To be removed:
 - lightdm-remote-session-uccsconfigure
 - ubuntu-desktop
 - unity
To be installed:
 - unity-settings-daemon
To be upgraded:
 - compiz-core
 - compiz-gnome
 - compiz-plugins-default
 - gnome-session-common
 - libcompizconfig0
 - libdecoration0
 - libnux-4.0.0
 - libnux-4.0-common
 - ubuntu-session
 - ubuntu-settings

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

what happens if you "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop unity unity-settings-daemon"?

[Fred (eldmannen+launchpad)]

I managed to get it to upgrade cleanly without removing any packages (only libunity-core-6.0.8 to replace with 6.0.9).

I had to selectively upgrade the packages in a certain order.
I don't remember which order it was in though.

ok, let's call the issue resolved then
