I tried it in my old install and it didn't help. I didn't try it since
the fresh install though, but I will now. Wait… :)

Reading package lists... Done
Reading state information... Done
0 to upgrade, 0 to install, 0 to remove and 252 to not upgrade.

(The last line was in Swedish, so the above is my translation of it).

Nothing more happened, so I'll try to install complete language
support again now:
Clicking Language Support
A dialogue box pops up, saying something like this, I translate from Swedish:
”Your language support is not fully installed
Some translations are available for your selected languages and they
are still not installed. Do you want to install them now?
language-pack-sv
language-pack-gnome-sv
language-pack-sv
[Remind me later] [Install]”

I clicked Install.
By the way, why are language-pack-sv mentioned twice…?

”Package dependencies cannot be resolved” and so on, in other words: FAIL.

Thanks for the input, though.


Kind regards
