I fixed the upgrade using the method I mentioned earlier, i.e. sudo dpkg -r -a before the dpkg --reconfigure -a I checked System->Administration->Language Support A popup indicated that two packages were not completely installed language-pack-kde-en and language-pack-kde-en I accepted the offer to install them. The available languages are now legion, with English checked as the default.
Having seen some other postings about renamed packages, I suspect this is a much cleaner way fo fixing the problem than some of the more brutal suggestions. -- Gutsy->Hardy upgrade hangs in localedef https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/249340 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
