Title:
edubuntu-installer and ubuntustudio-installer incorrectly report
package as installed when using languages other than English
Status in edubuntu-installer package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in ubuntustudio-installer package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
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
Additionally, some other idiosyncrasies were used when looking for
Depends and Recommends. Now a different algorithm will be used without
depending on specific words.
