The issue reported here is a very valid one. I have added some code to language-selector to find missing language-packs and other localization related packages, depending on the software being installed.
What still needs to be done is to modify the package manager(s) to call check-language-support (in the language-selector-common package) and install the packages reported by this tool. The installer uses this method already to find missing packages at install time. Relevant options to call check-language-support with: -l $languagecode : check only for this particular language. If not specified, will check for all languages installed on the system through the respective language-packs. -p $list_of_packages : list of packages, separated by comma. These are the packages which are gong to be installed. check-language-support will scan for missing localization packages related to these. If not specified, it will check according to all installed and to-be-installed packages on the system. ** Also affects: ubuntu-translations Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: ubuntu-translations Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: ubuntu-translations Importance: Undecided => Wishlist ** Also affects: kpackagekit (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: language-selector (Ubuntu) Status: New => Fix Released -- gimp (or any other gnome app) should pull in the respective language-pack-gnome-* https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/238634 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kpackagekit in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
