Hey, since this is tracked against the release milestone we wanted to double check
Utkarsh pinged Simon Quigley on Matrix and Simon answered [1]: """ Cala already fixed Must have forgotten to update paperwork but I'd appreciate a confirmation from Leó Kolbeinsson """ Let me do the required paperwork to the bug then. We can't change old changelogs, so all that s left marking this as fix relased according to the statement above. But also @Leó if you can re-verify it that would be appreciated just to be sure. P.S. the is.mirror being slightly outdated also caused some other issues in subiquity now fixed - but that is unrelated.

[Steps to cleanly reproduce for non-Icelandic speakers] 1. Start the live ISO for Lubuntu Plucky 20250410.1 or 20250411. 2. Select "Try Lubuntu." 3. Use the key combo "Ctrl + Alt + T" to open the terminal. 4. One of: `sudo{{vim,nano,emacs}, -E {featherpad,kate}} /etc/calamares/modules/pkgselect.conf` (where the braces represent one of several options you may select, recursively.) 5. Under `regular_install_packages:` (in the same format as the other packages), add " - libreoffice-help-is", then save/edit the file. 6. In a terminal, run `sudo -E /usr/bin/calamares-launch-normal` (which is the command in the `Exec` line of `~/Desktop/lubuntu-calamares.desktop`). 7. Assuming you have an internet connection, continue through all menus with all current settings (with the exception of keyboard, language, and partitioning as necessary, that doesn't matter). You *must not* select Minimal. 8. Open Debug -> GlobalStorage -> installation_data -> packages_to_install -> (some integer) and confirm that "libreoffice-help-is" is an item. This is intended, even after the fix. 9. Wait <= 5 minutes. [Steps to cleanly reproduce for Icelandic speakers] 1. Start the live ISO for Lubuntu Plucky 20250410.1 or 20250411. 2. Select Icelandic as your language on the Try/Install prompt screen. 2. Select "Install Lubuntu." 3. Assuming you have an internet connection, continue through all menus with all current settings (with the exception of keyboard, language, and partitioning as necessary, that doesn't matter). 4.
