There is a dependency problem with language-selector-common

[Thibaut Dupuy]

I'm using Ubuntu 22.04 beta.
This is the output of apt:

After this operation, 0 B of additional disk space will be used.
Setting up language-selector-common (0.219) ...

Thanks for your report. I can't reproduce it, though — possibly you have some hardware problem.

First, can you please make sure you have the latest version of all installed packages:

sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade

Next can you try this command:

sudo apt install --reinstall language-selector-*

and let us know if that fixes it.

Hello,
I tried refresh package list, upgrade all packages, and I tried the command
sudo apt install --reinstall language-selector-* but i got another error:
E: Internal Error, No file name for language-selector-common:amd64
Also, when I upgrade all packages, I got an error for 7 of them during
configuring:
7 not fully installed or removed.

Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

Well your system is messed up, and it seems to be somehow python related.

I would recommend that you simply reinstall. If you really want to solve the problem, you may want to seek support. But don't go to Ask Ubuntu, because the development version is off topic there.

In any case I see no language-selector bug, so closing.
