Title:
  Hangs when "preconfiguring packages" at the installation of a language

Status in “aptdaemon” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  While running gnome-language-selector the process hangs while 
  applying changes during "preconfiguring packages"
  No matter how long this process runs it never finishes.

  These processes are running

  Description:	Ubuntu Raring Ringtail (development branch)
  Release:	13.04

  language-selector-gnome:
    Installed: 0.108
    Candidate: 0.108
    Version table:
   *** 0.108 0
          500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ raring/main amd64 Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  The program should allow me to install an extra language (dutch for me).
  But the problems arise at startup of the program or after I stop the process and manually try to install the dutch language.

  The process halts during "preconfiguring packages"
