Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner.
I've tried recreating this bug with quantal and was unable to, given the information you've provided. Please upgrade Ubuntu and re-test. If the bug is still reproducible, maybe you have some external and unofficial repository that broke the dependency chain. Please post somewhere your /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* files

Do feel free to report any other bugs you may find.
