Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 8.10.1 with English, French, Russian and Spanish.
Adding Romanian with 'Language Support', I get the message
> Could not install the full language support
> Usually this is related to an error in your software archive or software 
> manager.
> Check your software preferences in the menu "Adminstration".
Could not find a preference to change.
Usually, this is due to too little hint and/or too many preferences.

Got the idea to try installing Walloon (local dialect and small).
Oh, it's got a - check mark (didn't find a documented explanation).
Turned the mark to V, click Apply, runs with no message.

Set the V mark to Romanian, Apply, runs with no message either.
Exit, clicking OK.

Back to 'Language Support', it tells me:
> The language support is not installed completely
> Some translations or writing aids available for your chosen languages are not 
> installed yet.
> Do you want to install them now?
> Details: language-support-translations-ro
I say OK to continue, after flipping Walloon from - to V again.
I get the message.
> Could not apply changes!
> Fix broken packages first.
Conclusions...
Walloon V mark flips back to - every time 'Language Support' restarts.
Needs to be set to V to enable installing another language.
Basic Romanian was installed but it seems the full package is broken.
That is,
Desktop etc is in Romanian but not Office, Firefox etc...
Firefox shows check mark - for Romanian Add-on.
