Public bug reported:
Both edubuntu-installer and ubuntustudio-installer are using the
following code to determine if a package is installed:
apt-cache policy "${pkg}" | grep Installed | cut -d ':' -f 2 | cut -c 2-
This relies on the string "Installed" being returned by apt-cache which
is translated depending on the system language. Since neither edubuntu-
installer nor ubuntustudio-installer are localized as of now, another
route for determining package installation needs to be used.
This will likely be doable by using the error code return from
dpkg -s "${pkg}" &> /dev/null
