hardy ubuntu-desktop package update doesn't install jockey

[bonsiware]

Binary package hint: jockey-gtk

I have installed ubuntu hardy alpha 3, it was about a week ago, then I updated and dist-upgraded my system, some errors occurred, but with some 'sudo apt-get install -f' and 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' i managed to have an almost fully upgraded and working ubuntu.

In Synaptic I noticed that the package of the 'Restricted drivers manager' had become obsolete. I removed it...
In the new packages I found jockey-common and jockey-gtk, new version of 'Restricted drivers manager', now called 'Drivers setup'...

Removing and installing again the package ubuntu-desktop I obtained to have the two new packages to be installed automatically...

Why didn't synaptics (or apt, now I don't remember) install new packages during the dist-upgrade process?

Is it a bug or a problem with dependencies?

Thank you!

PS: be happy, you are developing a great release!!!

Sorry for the trouble this caused, but I'm afraid there isn't much we can do about this. ubuntu-desktop already depends on jockey-gtk, so on a hardy-4 install, or a gutsy->hardy4 upgrade jockey will get installed automatically. It didn't work for you because you had troubles with installing alpha-3.

One of the pains you have to endure when being an early tester.... :( Thanks a lot for testing and reporting bugs, also for this one! (BTW, this issue was already known as bug 177141).
