[Bug 1350537] [NEW] ubuntu-desktop is missing a few dependencies

 

Public bug reported:

Starting from a command-line (non-GUI) Ubuntu installation, adding
ubuntu-desktop is supposed to be enough.  But it is missing some
dependencies.  In particular, the indicator-* packages (indicator-
application, indicator-appmenu, indicator-datetime, indicator-messages,
indicator-power, indicator-session, indicator-sound).  Without
indicator-session, for instance, the GUI has no means of shutting down
or rebooting (save for the command-line).  Without indicator-datetime,
the control panel has no Date & Time applet.  (I'm still trying to
figure out if some apparently-related packages such as gnome-panel,
libindicate-gtk3, libindicate5, sni-qt or telepathy-indicator should be
added or not.)

I suspect network-manager-gnome should be added in order to get the
network indicator (or maybe indicator-network instead?).

The dash home is crippled unless the unity-lens-* packages are added
(unity-lens-applications, unity-lens-files, unity-lens-music, unity-
lens-video are the default set it seems).

The apt-xapian-index package is required for Synaptic to have a usable
Quick Filter.

Finally, libgtk2-perl is something apt looks for repeatedly, and ought
to be added as a dependency as well.
