[Bug 1233374] [NEW] can not select language-selector-common and language-selector-gnome in Update Manager

[benditoelqueviene]

Public bug reported:

I tried to update the system (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "precise") with the
Update Manager.  It shows 2 _important security updates_ for language-
selector-common (0.79.4) and language-selector-gnome (0.79.4), but they
can't be selected.  They should be, as any package in Update Manager and
as I had done a lot of times.

I check in Synaptic and found the two packages marked with an ! symbol
in gray; I don't know what it means.  The installed version is 0.79, for
both packages.  I mark them for update, and Synaptic asks to mark for
delete language-selector-gnome, ubuntu-desktop and ubuntu-standard.  I
don't know if I should delete them or do something different.

-  If I try to update language-selector-gnome first, it asks to delete
ubuntu-desktop.

-  If I try to apply the changes, Synaptics shows a message saying that
it can not update because it has language-selector-commons as an
unsolvable dependency (it needs language-selector-common 0.79.4).

What should I do?  Leave it without updating?  If update, which would be
the correct order in the process? ("first delete this package, then
update the other, then reinstall a third" or something like that).  Is
the bug in Update Manager, instead?

Thanks in advance.
