[Bug 1698168] Re: package language-selector-gnome 0.165.4 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 127

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

Thanks for your report.

Yeah, this seems to be a bit odd, and is probably related somehow to a
broken python installation. Closing this bug.

Once you have fixed the python installation, you should be able to
complete the language-selector installation with:

sudo apt install language-selector-gnome

If that would reveal a problem with language-selector, after all, please
file a new bug report.
