[Bug 1482174] [NEW] package wspanish 1.0.27 failed to install/upgrade: package wspanish is already installed and configured

[Somatic Comatic]

Public bug reported:

I am a Spanish student at University. I have always loved Ubuntu and
Linux because, after some work, I can quickly switch between English and
Spanish in different documents. I recently got a new computer and I am
running 15.04 now. It is a fresh install so I was installing the
language packets. My computer actually blacked out when it was
installing the Spanish dictionary.

The battery was charged, so I turned it back on and tried to uninstall
it, as it had stopped halfway through installation, and I can no longer
install or uninstall the Spanish language dictionary and package.

Recap: Installing Spanish dictionary, system 76 Galago laptop (designed
for Ubuntu) crashed shutdown. Now I cannot delete or reinstall the
language file.

You guys are the best. Thank you for your hard work. I have loved your
OS for years and will always be a fan. Forget Microsoft, go Penguins!
