Bug Description
[SRU justification]
Users who have unity installed but not the ubuntu-desktop task will not be able to upgrade using ubuntu-
[Test case]
1. On a minimal installation of Ubuntu Raring install unity (without ubuntu-desktop)
2. Edit /etc/apt/
3. Run: apt-get dist-upgrade
4. Observe that unity is marked for removal.
5. Enable saucy-proposed.
6. Run: apt-get dist-upgrade
7. Observe that unity is now marked for upgrade instead of removal.
8. Run the dist-upgrade tests in jenkins and confirm that they still work.
[Regression potential]
Minimal: we are adding an additional Breaks: against a package not shipping in saucy that is meant to be removed on upgrade. While this could permute apt's upgrade calculation in unexpected ways, this is unlikely.
ACTUAL RESULT:
The system cannot upgrade because unity is removed due to the following resolution:
Investigating (0) libunity-core-6.0-8 [ amd64 ] < none -> 7.1.2+13.
Broken libunity-
Considering unity-common:amd64 3 as a solution to libunity-
Holding Back libunity-
[...]
Investigating (0) unity [ amd64 ] < 7.0.0daily13.
Broken unity:amd64 Depends on libunity-core-6.0-8 [ amd64 ] < none -> 7.1.2+13.
Considering libunity-
Removing unity:amd64 rather than change libunity-
