Thank you for helping with making Ubuntu better by reporting this bug. I can confirm this bug personally and there are two duplicates of this bug, so I'm marking this bug as Triaged.
The fact that nvidia-glx-185 is removed on upgrade and conflicts with xorg and indirectly with ubuntu-desktop is a separate bug. I'm currently trying to obtain more information about that problem as well.

That version is no more supported; please open a new bug report if the actual archive found version also has the same issue.
