http://askubuntu.com – I installed the latest gnome3 from webupd8's ppas and somehow borked my system. while doing a ppa-purge it somehow decided to remove the ubuntu-desktop meta package now while i'm trying to get back to pure ubuntu, i try this: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop and get this: ubuntu-desktop : Depends: eog but it is not going to be installed Depends: gnome-control-center but it is not going to be installed Depends: gnome-session but it is not going to be installed Depends: nautilus but it is not going to be installed Depends: nautilu (HowTos)
