This must be a packaging problem in Ubuntu Jaunty (GNOME), using khangman 4:4.2.2-0ubuntu1.
Without kdelibs-data 4:3.5.10.dfsg.1-1ubuntu8 installed: If I open the Languages menu, there is one entry called "None". After downloading a data file for a new language, e.g. Hungarian, there are two entries in the Languages menu, but both called "None". Selecting any of those two "None" labeled menu items, khangman thinks that I have selected the first one (probably because they are called the same), and switches to English. I cannot activate Hungarian in any way.
With kdelibs-data 4:3.5.10.dfsg.1-1ubuntu8 installed: If I open the Languages menu, there is one entry called "English". After downloading a data file for a new language, e.g. Hungarian, there are two entries in the Languages menu, one called "English" and one called "Hungarian". Selecting one works properly.
This behavior is strange, because as far as I know, kdelibs-data is a KDE 3 package. But as it seems, some part of it is used by a KDE4 application. |
Quoting from KDE 4's kdelibs not-installed file:
> # Files not installed because they conflict with current kdelibs-data:
> ./usr/share/locale/all_languages
This makes sense considering that KDE 3 and KDE 4 apps should be co-installable, however not at the cost of rendering KDE 4 apps partially useless in non-Kubuntu installations. That is completely insane and should be fixed in both Jaunty and Karmic.
KDEEdu and Games use all_languages _a lot_ not having it available in KDE 4's data is like really awful.
Proposed course of action to resolve this:
KARMIC
* Create a special package from the kde4libs sources (e.g. kdelibs5-data-lang)
* Drop all_languages from kdelibs-data
* Make kdelibs-data and kdelibs5-data both depend on the special package.
JAUNTY
* Make kdelibs5 depend on kdelibs-data (that is however very unSRUworthy ... additional solutions very much appreciated).
