[Bug 1899376] Re: Confusing versioning of language-selector

 

First of all, sorry for the inconvenience. I have deleted the package
from the PPA and will make a statement about this issue.

We made that change was because the sogou input method conflicted with
fcitx-ui-qimpanel and they needed to hijack the same dbus. We came up
with this bad idea when we couldn't change the Sogou input code, not
realizing the potential problems that could follow.

Now we're communicating with Sogou to find another way to fix the
problem, thanks!

Title:
  Confusing versioning of language-selector

Status in Ubuntu Kylin:
  New
Status in language-selector package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
