Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

After performing an installation in a locale without language pack on the Live CD, after installation I ended up with an English system. No language packs were downloaded during the install, and neither the missing language support warning was shown.

Here are the relevant settings:

* Language selected: Catalan (ca_ES.UTF-8, language pack not included in the Live CD)
* Chosen to download updates during install
* Wired network present
* 2010-09-13 Ubuntu Desktop i386 ISO image

I've seen this happening some other times when a mirror fails, but if that was the case, we should show a warning note telling the user that language packs could not be downloaded due to an error, or at least show the notification about missing language support (I've filed bug 630927 for that).

Unmarking as duplicate. The fix for 612825 did not happen to fix this particular issue: language packs are not present after a non-English installation.

  * Make sure /var/lib/ubiquity/langpacks gets generated (LP: #630924).
