Title:
  gnome-language-selector crashed with TypeError in
  _expand_pkg_pattern(): not enough arguments for format string

Status in “language-selector” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “language-selector” source package in Precise:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Precise SRU request
  -------------------

  [Impact] 
  gnome-language-selector crashes when launched under certain conditions.

  [Test Case]
  Not able to tell exactly when the buggy code is run and when it's not. The severity of the bug still justifies this SRU IMO.

  [Regression Potential]
  Minimal

  [Original description]
  This happened suddenly after a dist-upgrade from 12.10 to 13.04. The buggy code is not always run; the same version of language-selector launches fine on another 13.04 installation of mine.

  Anyway, running the buggy code results in a fatal error, and since
  it's sometimes run at the launch of language-selector (and also when
  running the check-language-support command), it prevents all use of
  language-selector.

  The proposed fix is obvious and harmless. I think that a
  FinalBetaFreeze exception is motivated.
