I confirm that rarian-compat fails to get installed during the upgrade process. However, by removing rarian-compat package and installing scrollkeeper instead (the seem to be interchangeable) I was able to finish the upgrade process and get the working installation if Intrepid. The problem is, ubuntu-desktop depends on rarian-compat and refuses to have scrollkeeper instead, so one has to watch out: removing ubuntu-desktop during upgrade can blow the system completely.

Once the upgrade process is finished, rarian-compat (and ubuntu-desktop) can be installed without any problems.

Changed in rarian:
status:	New → Confirmed

And yes, amd64 architecture is affected as well.

I followed your suggestion. From a terminal window session (Gnome was not able start), I did:

sudo apt-get remove rarian-compat #just in case
sudo apt-get install scrollkeeper
update-manager -d
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
sudo apt-get install rarian-compat

Seems to have worked. As an extra bonus, 8.10 solved the NVIDIA problem I had with 8.04
