Public bug reported:

Context:
Manual upgrade (via updating sources.list, not do-release-upgrade) of Windows 
Store version of Ubuntu 20.04 to 20.10 failed.

Expected:
wslu declares all required dependencies as mandatory dependencies (Depends:).

Actual:
wslu's post-installation script requires desktop-file-utils, but wslu declares 
desktop-file-utils as a recommended dependency (Recommends:).

Attempting to install wslu 3.2.1-0ubuntu1.1 without desktop-file-utils
installed results in the following error:


E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Setting up wslu (3.2.1-0ubuntu1.1) ...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/wslu.postinst: 13: desktop-file-install: not found
dpkg: error processing package wslu (--configure):
 installed wslu package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit 
status 127
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of ubuntu-wsl:
 ubuntu-wsl depends on wslu; however:
  Package wslu is not configured yet.
