[Bug 1899376] [NEW] Confusing versioning of language-selector

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Gunnar Hjalmarsson (gunnarhj):

My attention was called to the existence of version 0.304 of language-
selector in some of the <https://launchpad.net/~ubuntukylin-members>
PPAs. It happened in a rather annoying way:

https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/request-better-arabic-font-for-
ubuntu-20-04/14573/183

I don't know how 'official' those PPAs are, but I see that the only
difference compared to language-selector in the official Ubuntu archive
is that users are not prompted to pull the fcitx-ui-qimpanel package.

Ok.. So maybe it's no longer suitable for UKUI to install that package.
But if that's the case, how about handling that in the official
language-selector version?

* If it's no longer useful for any Fcitx users, we could simply drop it
from pkg_depends

* If it's still useful for non-UKUI Fcitx users, we could stop language-
selector from pulling it for UKUI users

In any case it's highly desirable to get away from a situation where
some users have a version of language-selector which blocks them from
updates.

Please let me know how you think this should best be handled.
