I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 and tried to upgrade the kernel from 3.2 to 3.5: Following a suggestion found here, I ran

sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic-lts-quantal

I had a little trouble with it, but after reboot I have

uname -r 

3.5.0-37-generic

However, attempting to install the new X stack results in an error:

sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-lts-quantal

Reading package lists... Done

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

 gvfs-daemons : Depends: x11-utils

E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.

Any suggestions? I tried "sudo apt-get install gvfs-daemons" and "sudo apt-get install x11-utils", but both were up to date.

For what it's worth, the below is the list of "quantal" packages (mostly X and kernel) on my 12.04.2 system (fresh install), kernel 3.5.0-37. Probably most of the X packages are not needed...
