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

Hello,

Yes you are right (though the version used isn't the same). In Trusty it
used to work without it. Zenity is GUI made available for bash, and
gnome-language-selector uses python3.

If gnome-language-selector is dependant of im-config (why that by the
way?) then… what do you say? Should one of these two bug reports have
their title changed? "Trusty + Vivid : im-config missing zenity"?

(while the other of the two bug reports would be removed?

Title:
  language-selector-gnome refuses to start with message "E: need Zenity

Status in language-selector package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
