[Willem Hobers]

When I needed to install something through synaptic, there were a lot of packages which needed an update. So I duly updated them. But then there was a system error, which resulted in this report.

Before this I had wanted to upgrade to 14.10 (from 14.04) which failed because ubuntu-desktop could not be installed/upgraded (see bug #1387211). I did not realize the packages that needed to be updated, according to synaptic, were probably the updates for the upgrade.
