Public bug reported:

So I used mini.iso from:

http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial-updates/main/installer-amd64/curre
nt/images/netboot/mini.iso

Installed a minimal ubuntu install.

sudo to root and run

apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

This is the output:

root@ubuntu:~# apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
Reading package lists... Done

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 ubuntu-desktop : Depends: unity but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.


We noticed this on our foreman server today so I tried it in a minimal install from iso and it gives the same error. We suspect this was a recent change that was made.


We think there is a dependency problem with compiz-core
