[Bug 1578821] Re: I'm not able to install galician language in Ubuntu 16.04

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

Yeah, I realized only tardily that the language-selector workaround was
needed in Xenial.

Saw the Debian bug, and agree it would be the better option in the long
run. Only 'problem' is that then I'll need to modify my proposed upload
at bug #1574745, since it currently includes dropping of hunspell-gl.
But it makes sense, so I'm going to do so.

  I'm not able to install galician language in Ubuntu 16.04

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  Installing the Galician language via Language Support fails. The
  reason is that there is currently two hunspell spellchecking packages
  in the archive:

  * hunspell-gl-es, provided by the hunspell-gl-es source package
  * hunspell-gl, provided by the libreoffice-dictionaries source package

  Even if hunspell-gl-es conflicts to hunspell-gl, having both of them
  available in the archive is not compatible with the way the writing
  aids is pulled via Language Selector. The proposed upload in this PPA:

  https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/ubuntu/lo-dicts-symlinks

  drops the hunspell-gl binary from libreoffice-dictionaries.

  [Test Case]

   * Open Language Support
   * Try to install Galician

  [Regression Potential]

  Low.

  Hi

  I just installed Ubuntu 16.04. So as I try to install galician
  language I get this notification:

  Transaction failed: Package dependencies cannot be resolved
   The following packages have unmet dependencies:

  Then nothing happens. Several fellows got the same issue.
