I certainly agree with that, and I just committed a different approach. 'check-language-support -a --show-installed' is about as fast as calling check-language-support for a single language. > @Post 9: > There is no hard reason that language-support-* needs to be kept > except that it is extra time spent spent removing package from the apt > database and calculating the blacklist.

While I agree that the DVD's seeds need to be updated, that's kind of tricky as seeding language-support-* is the only way to get all language support packages onto the image right now. I asked at UDS for there to be some metadata in the Packages file that germinate could use for this, but this never happened. In the meantime, perhaps the best approach would be to keep language-support-* if it's installed, but don't bother installing it if it isn't. I'm testing a patch for that now. -- Preseeding pkgsel/language-packs is not keeping language packages installed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/458333 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
