  trusty SRU request
  ==================

  [Impact]
  scim-m17n is broken in trusty. The IM engine is simply not available to scim, since the location of the m17n.so file is wrong.

  [Test Case]
  * Install scim and scim-m17n.
  * Open scim-setup, and find that the input methods provided by scim-m17n are not available.
  * Install the rebuilt scim-m17n package and re-login.
  * The scim-m17n IMs are now available from scim-setup.

  [Regression Potential]
  None. This is a broken -> working case.

  [Original description]
  After installing the scim-m17n software, the languages are not available for use in scim. Even after activating scim, only English is available. All the Asian and other non-European languages which become availalbe through m17n, are remain unlisted. Of note, in a comment on this site [http://askubuntu.com/questions/165980/scim-input-method-not-working/454912#454912], Robert Siemer writes: "I could fix scim-m17n by moving m17n.so from /usr/lib/scim-1.0/1.4.0/IMEngine/ to /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/scim-1.0/1.4.0/IMEngine/". However I tried this, and it doesn't seem to have made any difference.

  It should be added that for many writers of Asian languages, this
  scim-m17n is critically important to their work. I am one of those;
  for many years I have been typing using this system, and there is no
  viable alternative. The Ibus system does not provide for proper
  formatting of what is typed. So it is vitally important that this
  scim-m17n be made to work in 14.04. - Swarup
