Bug Description

Language Selector, in an error, says that "Usually this is related to an error in your software archive or software manager. Check your preferences in Software Sources (click the icon at the very right of the top bar and select "System Settings... -> Software Sources")."

But Software Sources isn't in System Settings. (Actually, Software Sources can't be opened anymore from the Dash, only from Synaptic, Update Manager and Software Center).

Changed in language-selector (Ubuntu):
importance: Undecided → Low
status: New → Confirmed

Thanks for your effort to improve Ubuntu by reporting this issue!

It's kind of funny... or not. As a response to bug 839880, the quoted message was changed in Ubuntu 11.10, where Software Sources is available from "System Settings". For some reason it's not there in 12.04, but in both 12.10 and (so far) in Raring (13.04) Software Sources is available from "System Settings" again, so there is currently nothing to fix.

This is indeed a bug in 12.04, but IMHO it's a bug in gnome-control-center and not in language-selector. The issue is not important enough to motivate an update of the stable 12.04.
