** Description changed:

- After installing the scim-m17n software, the languages are not available
- for use in scim. Even after activating scim, only English is available.
- All the Asian and other non-European languages which become availalbe
- through m17n, are remain unlisted. Of note, in a comment on this site

+ trusty SRU request
+ ==================
+ 
+ [Impact]
+ scim-m17n is broken in trusty. The IM engine is simply not available to scim, 
since the location of the m17n.so file is wrong.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ * Install scim and scim-m17n.
+ * Open scim-setup, and find that the input methods provided by scim-m17n are 
not available.
+ * Install the rebuilt scim-m17n package and re-login.
+ * The scim-m17n IMs are now available from scim-setup.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ None. This is a broken -> working case.

  It should be added that for many writers of Asian languages, this scim-
  m17n is critically important to their work. I am one of those; for many
  years I have been typing using this system, and there is no viable
  alternative. The Ibus system does not provide for proper formatting of
  what is typed. So it is vitally important that this scim-m17n be made to
  work in 14.04. - Swarup
