** Description changed:
+ [Impact]
+
+ When Ubuntu is installed with a locale name which Python does not
+ understand, e.g. en_IL, Language Support crashes when you try to launch
+ it. This is really a bug which should be fixed in the installer (bug
+ #1646260). Awaiting the installer fix, this proposed upload prevents
+ that Language Support crashes.
+
+ [Test Case]
+
+ 1. Make sure that no ~/.xinputrc file is present.
+
+ 2. Start Language Support from terminal using this command:
+
+ LANG=en_IL gnome-language-selector
+
+ -> Find that you have reproduced the crash.
+
+ 3. Install language-selector-gnome and language-selector-common from
+ bionic-proposed and repeat step 2.
+
+ -> Language Support starts without crashing.
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+
+ None.
+
+ [Original description]
+
When I click on Language Support from the applications menu, it starts,
shows a progress bar, and then immediately quits.
I do not see the crash report window open (Apport), but something seems
to crash. Here is what is appended to the syslog when the phenomenon
happens:
