Public bug reported: Binary package hint: language-support-writing-en
Hi, I am running Xubuntu Karmic but I have checked the Lucid packages and found the same problem. The problem is with the language support package here : http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/language-support-writing-en It depends on packages like http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/openoffice.org- hyphenation and http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/openoffice.org- thesaurus-en-us which in turn pulls in the rest of OpenOffice. This results in OpenOffice being downloaded and installed by Ubiquity... The total size of downloads is ~130MB! This is very unfortunate for people with limited bandwidth. This problem existed in 8.04 LTS, and I reported the bug (read pestered the poor devs on launchpad, IRC and forums :) ) and a fix was released for 8.04.1. It is really unfortunate to see this regression rear it's ugly head again. Please fix this problem, as it is usually people with meagre resources that have to use Xubuntu on their older machines and more often than not, they do not have unlimited megabit connections. Thank you for your work. ** Affects: language-support-writing-en (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: dependency language openoffice -- Dependency chain forces installation of OpenOffice https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/502748 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
