[Bug 803450] Re: New Ubuntu locale installation wiped out Firefox locales

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

This may have been a one-time glitch for some reason, but I don't think
it's a persistent problem, at least not any longer. Closing.

Title:
  New Ubuntu locale installation wiped out Firefox locales

Status in language-selector package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  My system previously had English, Japanese and Swedish language packs
  (language-pack-xx) installed. This included Firefox in at least
  Japanese and various English dialects. Then I did the following:

  $ sudo apt-get install ibus-hangul language-pack-ko
  $ gnome-language-selector

  The program gnome-language-selector informed me that I hadn't
  installed certain programs, such as Thunderbird, in all of the
  languages for which I had installed Ubuntu language packs and asked me
  if I wanted to install a lot of xxx-locale-xx packages. I chose to
  install all of them.

  After doing this, Firefox suddenly only had a Korean language pack.
  Unless Firefox was started with "LANG=ko_KR.UTF-8 firefox", Firefox
  was in US English, but about:addons didn't list any US English
  language pack as being installed. Thus, something had wiped out
  several Firefox locales although it wasn't supposed to do that. I re-
  installed two of them manually:

  $ sudo apt-get install firefox-locale-ja firefox-locale-sv

  Other programs, such as Thunderbird and Libreoffice, properly got
  language packs installed in all languages. My computer has Ubuntu
  11.04 and Firefox 5.0, both 32-bit.
