Upgrading saucy removes ubuntu-sdk package because of cordova conflicts

[Stuart Langridge]

I've just upgraded saucy (desktop) and it removed ubuntu-sdk, because it depends on qtcreator-plugin-ubuntu-cordova, which depends on an older version of qtcreator-plugin-ubuntu (2.8.1bzr56saucy0 rather than 2.8.1bzr57saucy0).

for now you can "apt-get upgrade which will hold back the offending package, but update the rest
