Fail to install ubuntu-desktop when upgrading to 14.04

Asked by leodream

I've been using ubuntu 13.10 and gnome 3.10 for a while.
Recently, I deciaded to upgrade to 14.04 but encountered some problem. And I am sure all the packages were up to date before upgrade.

1. Cannot upgrade to 14.04 in graphical
     At the begining, I tried to upgrade with invoking "update-manager -d". Everything was fine util the upgrade got into the "Installing the upgrades" stage. My GUI suddenly crashed, leaving a crusor blinking in the black. I was able to swith to tty1. And the upgrade seemed to be aborted. After I restarted the computer, the system got stuck at booting and the output messages stopped at starting the init service. Cannot swith to tty either.

2. ubuntu-desktop error occured while upgrading in command line
    I restored the system from previous backup and tried the upgrade again in command line.
    Then I executed the command "sudo do-release-upgrade -d" in tty1. The command could work as expected, but it showed a error about the ubuntu-desktop at the end of the output.
    After rebooted, I was able to login the system was fine. The Setting/Detail indicated the version was 14.04. But I got unmet dependencies warring about the ubuntu-desktop when executing to "sudo apt-get upgrade". Just like this:

     Reading package lists... Done
     Building dependency tree
     Reading state information... Done
     You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
     The following packages have unmet dependencies:
       ubuntu-desktop : Depends: ubuntu-session but it is not installed
                  Recommends: empathy but it is not installed
                  Recommends: ibus-pinyin
                  Recommends: ibus-table but it is not installed

Any help would be appreciated.

If you can wait until next month when Trusty goes to the first point release (14.04.1) it will be offered to you.

Hi,
Do you mean such upgrade (from gnome 3.10) is not supported currently? Or something like a bug will be fixed ?
Thanks.

What is the output of the following terminal commands:

uname -a
lsb_relase -a
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -f
sudo dpkg --audit

Can you help with this problem?
