[Bug 1532519] [NEW] Language support installed because of keyboard choice but not checked in installed languages

 

Public bug reported:

When I was installing Ubuntu Xenial 16.04 I chose English as my
installation language and Turkish keyboard was selected and time zone to
Istanbul

When I open language selector I see Turkish is in the list of "language
for menus and windows:" and language selector suggest installing some
Turkish language support packages like language-pack-tr

However, I do not see Turkish selected in "Installed Languages" window
which I open by clicking "Install/remove languages" button in the main
window.

The problem:
Language support partly installed without me asking for and it's not showing in "Installed Languages" so I can not remove it.

I think this issue might happen with many other languages. For example
If you chose a French keyboard during an English language installation I
could have this installed but not showing situation.

What I expected:
Just English language support installed.

What happened:
Turkish language support partially installed and not being able to remove it easily

I brought the issue to #ubuntu+1 channel on freenode and it was suggested that I open  a bug
Ubuntu Xenial Xerus (development branch)
Release:	16.04
