Comment 10 for bug 91399

Martin's comment got me thinking about this again. Are either one of these packages necessary for Kubuntu? I have some gnome apps installed, which is really the only non-KDE/ubuntu stuff I have on the system. What's odd about this is that it only began to occur about two weeks ago. I ignored it for a while because I've seen many bugs killed in subsequent updates. Since this is a beta, you tend not to worry about them.

I didn't want to ignore console-setup because of ubuntu-minimal's dependency on it. If you read the description of ubuntu-minimal, it appears to be necessary for the sysytem to do important stuff, so the user is between a rocak and a hard place on this.

I also noticed last night that the bug acts differently based on how you do an update. If I use apt-get from the console, everything downloaded is installed, and the error appears at the end of the update, with apparently no negative affect on the other updates.

However, if I run Adept to do the upgrades, it will fail part of the way through because of the console-setup/ubuntu-minimal error.

If I go back after and finish the update from the console manually, the uninstalled packages get installed and setup correctly.
