Whoops, my message was posted too early. Continuing. ## Warning for lubuntu users.
It appears that ibus is required by lubuntu-desktop, which makes the problem only more present and increases impact of the workaround. Indeed removal of ibus removes lubuntu-desktop which in turn makes some other programs ready to disappear. Here's what apt-get log displayed (in French, but should be clear to apt-get user of any language): Les paquets suivants ont été installés automatiquement et ne sont plus nécessaires : blueman gdebi gdebi-core gnome-disk-utility language-selector-gnome libwhoopsie0 lubuntu-default-session lxsession-default-apps whoopsie xfce4-power-manager xfce4-power-manager-data Veuillez utiliser « apt-get autoremove » pour les supprimer. Les paquets suivants seront ENLEVÉS : ibus ibus-pinyin ibus-table lubuntu-desktop 0 mis à jour, 0 nouvellement installés, 4 à enlever et 4 non mis à jour. Après cette opération, 3 460 ko d'espace disque seront libérés. Souhaitez-vous continuer ? [O/n] ## Conclusion I would rate this bug with severity relatively high, especially on lubuntu. It probably hurts many users around the world, especially lubuntu users. Can things be arranged so that a regular package update fixes that nasty bug ?
