Cannot install language

[pider]

I add kubuntu experimental in the software sources and my Norwegian language disappeared. When I try to add Norwegian again, but I get this message:

You have the language with code 'nb' in your list of languages to use for translation but the localization files for it could not be found. The language has been removed from your configuration. If you want to add it again please install the localization files for it and add the language again.

HELP PLEASE

the language "Norwegian Bokmål".

Does the 'reinstall' option change anything ?

Something like:

sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install --reinstall kde-l10n-nb language-pack-nb-base language-pack-nb firefox-locale-nb calligra-l10n-nb

ie

cleaning the local repository of retrieved package files
updating the package index
upgrading packages
reinstalling the nb language packages


man apt-get:

dist-upgrade

dist-upgrade in addition to performing the function of upgrade, also intelligently handles changing dependencies
with new versions of packages; apt-get has a "smart" conflict resolution system, and it will attempt to upgrade
the most important packages at the expense of less important ones if necessary...

--reinstall

Re-install packages that are already installed and at the newest version.

Hi
Here is what I did

http://pastebin.com/3VYXaXBU This link is now ok!

Try to install Norwegian again, but same error again! Here are some sceenshot:

[pider]

I have migrated /home to another partition, maybe this will affect this?

[Rog132]

I only know what you are telling/showing

About your paste

1) it has:

per@per-kubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get clean
[sudo] password for per:
E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the download directory
per@per-kubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get update
...

The 'apt-get clean' was not executed as there was the apt lock file

The idea of the using the 'clean' is that if there is a broken package in the cache it is cleaned off before upgrade/re-installation. The apt will use the package from the cache if there is no more recent package in the repository.


2) The paste is a stub - the last lines are:

Ign http://archive.ubuntu.com trusty-security/universe Translation-en_US
Ign http://archive.ubuntu.com trusty-security/universe Translation-nb

...so I don't know:

was the upgrade successful ?
was the re-installation of the language package successful ?
what is the language package version?
where the language packages are from ?


What I know

You wrote:

If I look the https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+...e/experimental

There is the kde-l10n-nb (4:4.13.1-0ubuntu0.1~ubuntu14.04~ppa2)

are you using this package ?

The command:

apt-cache policy kde-l10n-nb

Should show the installed version and available versions.

have you tried to remove/replace the kubuntu experimental packages with the Ubuntu repository versions ?

There is the package ppa-purge to replace the ppa packages with the Ubuntu packages:

:~$ apt-cache show ppa-purge
Package: ppa-purge
Priority: optional
Section: universe/utils
...
Description: disables a PPA and reverts to official packages
This program disables a PPA from your Software Sources and reverts your
system back to the official Ubuntu packages. You can use this to return your
system to normal after testing a new version from a PPA.

Hi
Than you for your help!
I decided to reinstall, and I am back to Norwegian. There was a update (I do not know which), and this time also language turned to English, but this time it went well to change to Norwegian.
