This doesn't seem to be a bug. I'm turning this into a question, so other people can help you to fix it.

Please, open a terminal and try this:

  sudo dpkg --force-all -r language-pack-en language-pack-en-base

Then, enter your password if you're asked to. Afer that, enter this:

  sudo apt-get install language-pack-en language-pack-en-base

That should hopefully solve your problem.
