[Bug 1512673] [NEW] language-selector-gnome refuses to start with message "E: need Zenity

 

Public bug reported:

Hello,

In Ubuntu Trusty freshly installed,  the gnome-language-selector program
does not start. When invoking in console it sends messages related to
python3 among which can be seen "E : Zenity missing" (or that sort of
message).

Once **zenity installed**, the program starts and **works perfectly**.

I have seen the other recent bug reports related to the program : for me
it has worked so far. (Always using it once only, just after a fresh
install to complete the eventual needed language packs which can be
missing, for the French language).

I suggest rebuilding the package, adding zenity in the list of
dependencies needed.

** Affects: language-selector (Ubuntu)
