@Colin: The problem is not just that I installed the language-pack-es and the -base package didn't automatically get marked for update. The -base package doesn't show as an upgrade at all, so I can't even manually mark it for upgrading. If I tell it to upgrade everything that is available for upgrade, language-pack-es is updated to the "empty" version but language-pack-es-base remains untouched. I have no idea why.
What I *can* do is going to the list of package versions in aptitude, and marking the newest version number for installing (with +). But if I press + on the package itself (and not on a specific version number), it's not marked for upgrade. This did work for the non -base language- pack packages. Although I agree that the language packs should depend on the specific version of the -base package they need. -- All translations gone https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/316174 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
