This bug report is a very old one, and I'm going to assume that the older reported issues are solved.
In the linked merge proposal I have made an adjustment aiming to fix the issue with unrelated packages being removed when a language is removed, as reported in comment #12. It's not a perfect fix, since it means that some packages that could well be removed will be kept. OTOH, those redundant packages will probably not hurt. A language-selector build for Raring, including the proposed fix, is available in my PPA at https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/misc It would be great if you could install and test it to evaluate if there are any undesired side effects caused by the fix. ** Changed in: language-selector (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => In Progress ** Changed in: language-selector (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Gunnar Hjalmarsson (gunnarhj) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to language-selector in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/37707 Title: language-selector should not uninstall packages without a warning (allow opt-out) Status in “language-selector” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: After upgrading a recently-installed xubuntu-desktop from breezy to dapper, I ran gnome-language-selector for the first time. I selected Norwegian bokmål as my supported (and default) language, and pressed apply. As I watched the debug log, I discovered that language-selector removed the xubuntu-desktop, firefox and mozilla- mplayer packages _without warning_.
