[Bug 1255761] [NEW] Can't configure country, languages, or spell checker

[Steve Riley]

Public bug reported:

In System Settings -> Locale -> Country/Region & Language -> Country, my
only choices are:

* System Country ()
* No Country (Default Settings)

In System Settings -> Locale -> Country/Region & Language -> Languages,
I see a long list of most two-letter country codes. Curiously, the one I
need -- en_US -- is missing. The only "en" is en_GB.

In System Settings -> Locale -> Spell Checker, My only choices for
Default Language are:

* ...blank...  <- yes, a blank option in the dropdown
* ()  <- yes, just a pair of parentheses
