Bug Description
Nomination of the fix of this bug for a Precise SRU
-------
[Impact]
Users who have the enhanced "frami" version of the German hunspell dictionary installed are incorrectly prompted to install the conflicting standard version each time they launch language-selector.
Philipp Gassmann: "I also think that this fix should be backported to precise because of its usage in enterprises, where multiple locales are more common and the preferences of users diverse."
[Test Case]
Steps to reproduce with version 0.79 or 0.79.1:
- Install German.
- Make German (Germany) the system wide regional formats setting.
- Install hunspell-
- Launch language-selector, and you'll be prompted to install hunspell-de-de.
[Regression Potential]
The fix does two things:
1. Prevents the incorrect prompts.
2. Makes the check for incomplete language support cover all the installed languages, and not only the current system language (which is considered a fix of a related not reported bug).
The risk for regression is low.

2. Release Ctrl. > Drag and drop ordering works.
Related Problem: The "frami" versions of the German hunspell packs are not recognised as a replacement for the default hunspell.

Thanks for taking the time to help making Ubuntu better by filing this bug report!
Tried to reproduce the frami issue by installing hunspell- de-de-frami (which made hunspell-de-de being removed). For me, the check that gnome-language- selector carries out when launched does not report that hunspell-de-de is missing. However, the command check-language- support does so when run from a terminal window.
@Martin: selector check for missing language support packages is quiet while check-language- support may report quite a few missing packages? Shouldn't they output the same package list?
Is it normal that the gnome-language-
I triggered the "The language support is not installed completely" dialog by removing poppler-data, and clicked "Remind Me Later". In 12.04 I was able to reproduce the drag-and-drop issue as described, but that issue seems to have been fixed in 12.10. I don't think it's important enough for updating a stable release, so I'd consider that part of this bug report to be a "Won't Fix".
