Bug Description

In the process of KDE SC update from version 4.5.2 to 4.5.3 several important packages are removed (as shown by KPackageKit) in addition to updating some other packages. As a result of this update desktop environment is not launched after Kubuntu is restarted and it is only possible to work using command line interface.
