[Bug 903271] [NEW] install missing lang-pack does nothing

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Was reproducable.
After installation and updating open language-selector from g-c-c or dash.
It searches for missing lang-packs and advises to install missing aspell-de, confirm to install.
Result: the wheel spins forever, no package will be installed. Tested twice.
Workaround: install aspell-de via terminal, afterwards language-selector opens fine without complains.

To debug, open language-selector in a terminal.
Output:
~$ gnome-language-selector
