Public bug reported:
Right now installing xserver-xorg-lts-quantal will uninstall xorg, and
as a side effect ubuntu-desktop. A small update to xorg is required to
deal with this.
Multiple changes are required:
- xorg needs to allow xserver-xorg-renamed to satisfy its xserver-xorg
dependency.
- xserver-xorg must not be coinstallable with renamed packages, so explicitly
depend on versions there.
- xserver-xorg-lts-precise gets added for smoother rollback, it recommends
libgl1-mesa-dri/glx unrenamed, and video/input-all unrenamed. Normally because
of the xserver-xorg might not install either, but the recommends should allow
easier rollback.
- xserver-xorg also provides/replaces/conflicts with xserver-xorg-renamed, so
xserver-xorg-lts-* cannot be coinstalled accidentally with xserver-xorg.
- xserver-xorg replaces/conflicts with xorg-renamed-package, so installing
xserver-xorg will block any renamed package from being installed. They all
provide xorg-renamed-package.
