Comment 11 for bug 833058

As axel points out in comment 10: this bug is about the need to install some package manually after Kubuntu installation (on standard Ubuntu install) in order to do system updates. I think more people would agree with me that installing packages manually before being able to install updates or install new packages is very user unfriendly and should be considered a workaround, not a fix.

Besides, did you notice the circular dependency here? Users aren't able to solve this bug due to the bug, unless they stumble upon this bug report and take a dive in the raw package management (something not based on qapt). Also, as a consequence they will probably not be installing (security) updates (or updates to solve this issue) until the workaround is applied. And hey, shouldn't the latter be a reason to set some level importance to this bug?

This affects still all users moving from Gnome/Unity (and probably other DE's too) to KDE by using the Software center within their current installation.

So, to summarize, in my opinion, this bug has *not* been solved, should not have the status 'Fix released' and have some level op importance set. Please reopen.

N.B. Re-reading my comment before posting: sorry for being a bit too grumpy between the lines.
