Description Peter Ped Helcmanovsky 2022-10-29 13:33:36 UTC 
SUMMARY

Region & Language system setting needs `language-selector-common` package, seems it is not installed by default ( neon-user-20221023-0714.iso fresh install using en_US locale initially for everything).

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. go to "Region & Language" settings, change some lines from "en_US" to "C" locale and "cs_CZ" (čeština) (mixing it the way I like particular items, keeping language as en_US, only numbers/time/date/measurements modified)
2. hit the "Apply" button

OBSERVED RESULT

There was error about missing executable `check-language-support`

After installing package `language-selector-common` the settings does work, reports missing language-pack packages and suggest to restart to apply changes.

(technically it errors out about "not all missing packages managed to resolve! language-pack-cs" which is clear message for me to know to install particular package manually, but not sure if this is desired UX for all Neon users and whether that's another glitch or how it intended to work)

Make plasma-workspace depend on language-selector-common

Remind `check-language-support` in ubuntu-based distros

This is a friendly reminder to packagers that language-selector-common
should be installed with plasma-workspace.
