Bug Description

Sat through an uneventful update-manager upgrade from 12.10 to 13.04 on amd64 recently - only to find that at least the following packages were absent after the upgrade:

gnome-control-center-unity [provides Appearance settings panel]

activity-log-manager-control-center [provides Privacy settings panel]

gnome-control-center-signon [provides Online Accounts settings panel]

It's a bit worrying that I was not aware the Privacy settings panel was missing 'via bug' rather than 'by new default' until I booted a liveUSB image to evaluate performance on some old hardware* and noticed the difference.

I also seem to have acquired an "Adwaita" theme (missing icons and all) dating from the day of the upgrade not present in the liveCD image.

[And I _also_ seem to have just discovered that double-clicking to open a "sources.list" in an archive in file-roller will automatically import unknown settings from the file when privileges are available rather than open it in gedit for examining as naively expected. I'm good at this game! Ugh.]

*Unity now performs very well on the "Radeon Xpress 200" under 13.04 and will spare me from adding graphics cards just to handle the desktop environment - kudos to all of the Xorg, Unity, Ubuntu and other developers behind that improvement.

apt-term.log hidden as single manual attachment permitted in first wad of telemetry attached by running ubuntu-bug against update-manager (probably entirely uselessly but I'm still getting used to being redirected to ubuntu-bug to report issues). term.log empty and lspci.txt unlikely to be interesting so not attached.

If anyone needs to see apt-clone_system_state.tar.gz let me know - pretty sure there's nothing thrillingly private in there compared to everything else already attached but it's not world-readable by default so just spent a few moments wondering why it wouldn't upload.

As came up while trying to figure out where the U1 Music Store went (apparent answers after much screen-scraping: gone from Rhythmbox, not in The Store, moved into Dash which really just opens a link in Firefox, correct me in private if I'm wrong?), the "Cloud Indicator" is also missing.

Some web-searching suggests this is indicator-sync - which is installed, and no change after a deinstall+reinstall of the package without a logout that I'm loathe to try just now... But that package is also described as indicating only sync status so I'm not sure it's even what the one that "comes with" a properly working 13.04.

...anyone got a clue here? Did this just not make it as a 64-bit package or do I have a big inexplicable indicators SNAFU?

[Naturally I actually use U1 for some things - music purchases at least - while my user with a working "cloud indicator" doesn't, yet.]

The U1 web UI (as linked by trying to buy music in the Dash) appears to be a workaround, but I'd like to solve how/why I quietly would up missing all these UI packages (including the perhaps-legally-important-in-some-jurisdictions 'privacy' panel) for the benefit of everyone.
