[Bug 396414] Re: When KDE or gnome apps get installed, the corresponding language-packs should be pulled automatically

[Martin Pitt]

I discussed that with Michael again, and writing this as an aptdaemon
plugin is a lot more elegant than modifying the core aptdaemon code, so
moving this to language-selector.

As for performance, I now rewrote the check-language-support logic from
scratch, as the l-s code was really horrible, slow, and hard to
maintain. The replacement is much smaller, (IMHO) easy to read and
understand, has full test coverage, and is fast.

I added a performance test to the test suite which does a full check of
all missing lang support packs for all installed packages for all
installed locales, and it takes a mere 8 ms on my system (under the
condition that we have an initialized apt.Cache() object, which is given
in an aptdaemon plugin). I think this is a negligible overhead and well
worth spending.

Bug description:
  When you install ubuntu and you have chosen a certain language, it
  should install also the package language-pack-kde-?? (where ??=your
  country letters, for example es for spanish). I think that it should
  be on obiquity. It is very unlikely for an new user to find the
  language-pack-kde-?? from Synaptic so he can install it.

  The problem appears if a user installs a kde application, lets say
  kturtle. There is no way of installing the language support for an kde
  application.
