ubuntu-desktop is already the newest version (1.417).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Update: This situation probably results from an interrupted and subsequently repaired upgrade to 18.04. Would doug's suggestion (sudo apt remove ubuntu-desktop && sudo apt install ubuntu-desktop) restore all the default/recommended packages that are installed during an upgrade?

apt package-management 18.04
It's not installed on Ubuntu 16.04, and I can't find anything in the support version of Ubuntu that requires it. If it's a requisite of the 18.04 operation, there is a good chance that it will be install when 18.04 is released. If the developers are making a mistake, it's important that you file a bug report to get the issue addressed. All the bugs may not be completely worked out before the release, but it would help if you would use the proper channel for support. Please report and track your bug (including feature request) at: bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu

It's a recommend ofubuntu-desktop
, if you were to remove & then re-installubuntu-desktop
it would likely get installed. Alsognome-todo
is on the current 18.04 image so no bug.. Check the .manifest here cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current

Thanks. I see now that "apt-cache show ubuntu-desktop" lists gnome-todo as a recommend.

gnome-todo
is a recommendation of ubuntu-desktop
. As such it can be removed without removing the ubuntu-desktop
meta-package.
Also to note that it will be included on the 18.04 release image.
In this case it should suffice to remove & then reinstall the ubuntu-desktop
package
sudo apt remove ubuntu-desktop && sudo apt install ubuntu-desktop
