** Description changed:

  Did a routine update/upgrade on 2/15/18 on a 16.04 Ubuntu system.
  Received an update to compiz.  The upgrade broke unity, forcing its
  removal and also the removal of ubuntu-desktop.  Since I was using LXDE
  at the time, this didn't kill my system, but I would like to preserve
  the option of logging into unity in the future.
  
  The package whose absence broke unity seems to be compiz-core-
  abiversion-20151010.  apt-cache policy reports no version of that
  package available to my system.
