Suddenly can't use other system language than English anymore
I'm using Kubuntu Trusty Tahr x64 with the most current updates from the Kubuntu Launchpad repositories.
I'm living in good old Germany and have the German and Japanese language packs installed. I'm using mostly German, but sometimes also Japanese.
All this worked fine, until I just did a full update in Synaptic, and I noticed that it also had lots of updated Kubuntu packages.
After the update had completed without any errors, I rebooted.
I was then very surprised to find that after logging in again after the reboot, the entire Kubuntu and all applications (even unrelated applications like Firefox) had suddenly switched to English.
I opened the "Locale" module in System Settings, where I was greeted with the following weird warning:
After that, got an almost identical second warning, just with Japanese (ja) instead of German.
It subsequently removed German and Japanese from the list on the right, leaving only English.
I've then tried re-adding German, and it was downloaded properly and added to the list again:
However, as soon as I clicked on "Apply", the weird warning from above appeared once more, and German was once again removed from the list.
I then tried adding Japanese. Also here, it was added fine and appeared in the list on the right, but as soon as I clicked on "Apply", the weird warning appeared again, and Japanese was removed again from the list.
I've then tried loggin out and logging back in and then adding the language, but it was the very same and didn't work either. Rebooting and then trying to add the language also produced the same non-working result.
Next I've opened Synaptic and found that the language package (kde-l10n-de) is still installed. When trying to re-install it, I got a number of error messages:
Looks like something went badly wrong with the last update of the system packages.
