Comment 4 for bug 1083264

Hi,
I am sorry to read about your problems. This bug is quite old now, and I am not sure it is actually a bug. Are you still having these problems?
It looks as if you had something installed that was conflicting with other packages, causing them to be removed.
If you are new to Ubuntu and can easily backup the data you want to keep to another disk, it might be best to try a fresh install of the latest Ubuntu, rather than doing an upgrade.
These types of problems are generally best dealt with by asking on the Ubuntu Forums for help:

Normally someone there will be able to help you track down the problem, and if it is a bug, help you find the exact software package to report the bug against.
