[Desktop-packages] [Bug 632011] Re: gnome-language-selector won't install language support
I have this same problem in Ubuntu 12.04. When I installed 12.04 back in April 2012 it worked fine (as it has for the last several releases stretching back to 2006 when I first started installing multiple languages), but I re-installed 12.04 this past week and had this come up. I am trying to install the Korean, German and Spanish packs. I tried sudo apt-get install -f. I tried sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade. I tried sudo dpkg --configure -a. I tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales. I looked in Synaptic under status and there are no broken packages or thorny issues. I tried installing each language separately instead of grouping them together. A thorough google/duckduckgo/ubuntu forums/launchpad search reveals that what I wrote above are the only offered solutions and none of them have worked for me. I wasn't sure if I had to file a new bug since the OP did his for 10.10 and my bug is in 12.04. If I need to file a new bug because of the different release, please let me know. ** Attachment added: screenshot of the offending action https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/language-selector/+bug/632011/+attachment/3406920/+files/Screenshot%20from%202012-10-21%2015%3A24%3A17.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to language-selector in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/632011 Title: gnome-language-selector won't install language support Status in “language-selector” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Binary package hint: language-selector I tried to install support for Chinese (simplified and traditional) input methods and extra fonts.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 632011] Re: gnome-language-selector won't install language support
I AM A GENIUS. Ok, I searched in Synaptic for all the language packs, and noticed that language-pack-ko-base (or something like that) had a CONFLICT in its properties dialog box with language-pack-gnome-ko (or something like that) for the Korean (I assume it would be the same with Spanish and German). The only way I figured there would be a version conflict is if I was getting some packages from a more bleeding-edge repo, WHICH I WAS. SOLUTION: I went to the repos dialog box in Synaptic and unselected precise- proposed as a source, did a quick apt-get update and then was easily able to install the packages. So it's not really a bug, it's just that versions in the repos don't quite match up with each other and there's package version conflict. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to language-selector in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/632011 Title: gnome-language-selector won't install language support Status in “language-selector” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Binary package hint: language-selector I tried to install support for Chinese (simplified and traditional) input methods and extra fonts.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 632011] Re: gnome-language-selector won't install language support
@Jason Congrats to finding a solution, and thanks for letting us know about it. :) But dependency conflicts are indeed bugs as well. One way to fix it would be to simply remove those language-pack-gnome-ko-base branches in precise-proposed and oneiric-proposed. Or it could be fixed in debian/control. @Victor and Pavol Does a solution of the dependency conflict fix it for you as well? Is it possibly time to close the language-selector bug? ** Changed in: language-pack-gnome-ko-base (Ubuntu) Status: New = In Progress ** Changed in: language-pack-gnome-ko-base (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) = Gunnar Hjalmarsson (gunnarhj) ** Changed in: language-selector (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to language-selector in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/632011 Title: gnome-language-selector won't install language support Status in “language-pack-gnome-ko-base” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in “language-selector” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Binary package hint: language-selector I tried to install support for Chinese (simplified and traditional) input methods and extra fonts.
