[Bug 1134364] Re: Check for missing language support for all installed languages

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package language-selector - 0.79.2

---------------
language-selector (0.79.2) precise-proposed; urgency=low

  * LanguageSelector/LanguageSelector.py:
    Call missing() in language_support_pkgs.py instead of
    by_locale(), so the check for missing language support packages
    is carried out for all the installed languages, not only for the
    current system language (LP: #1134364).
  * language_support_pkgs.py:
    - Hack to prevent that users are prompted to install hunspell-de-xx
      when the enhanced (and conflicting) hunspell-de-xx-frami is
      installed (LP: #1103547).
    - Changes in available_languages() to avoid that users are prompted
      to install language support for non-installed languages. That
      could happen if there were other locales on the system but the
      locales representing the installed languages (LP: #1134364).
  * LanguageSelector/LangCache.py:
    When a language is removed, don't remove packages that are not
    language specific (LP: #37707).
  * debian/control:
    Bump the accountsservice dependency.

Bug description:
  [Impact] 
  When dealing with bug 1103547 it was considered appropriate to let language-selector start checking for missing language support packages for all installed languages. At first hand it's the fix of 'the hunspell issue' in bug 1103547 that is anxious to backport as an SRU. This bug is related to bug 1103547 in such a way that it's reasonable to backport also the fix of this bug as an SRU.

  [Test Case]
  Steps to reproduce:
  * On an updated Precise (and assuming that French was not already installed), install French via the "Installed Languages" window in Language Support.
  * Close Language Support
  * Remove hunspell-fr:
    sudo dpkg -r hunspell-fr
  * Start Language Support and note that you are not prompted to install the missing package hunspell-fr.

  [Regression Potential]
  Besides the proposed change to LanguageSelector.py, and to prevent undesired side effects, we identified a need to:
  * backport https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/accountsservice/0.6.29-1ubuntu5, and
  * modify available_languages() in language_support_pkgs.py to safely exclude non-installed languages.
  Given those supplementary changes (which are included in this SRU request), the regression risk should be low.
