I have removed the Ubuntu-Desktop meta package so that I could install Open Office 3 as well as The GIMP 2.6. I believe that I read somewhere that I need to reinstall the Ubuntu-Desktop package to upgrade from 8.4 to 8.10.

How will this impact my custom installed packages? I installed them using DEBs. Apt reports that it will install the older Open Office and a few packages pertaining to GIMP but does not say it is going to remove any of my newer versions.

Thanks!
