Upgrade problem when changing languages
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:10:46 EST
Description of problem: Generally speaking, I run a mixed-language environment on my Linux desktop machines. Typically, I will run in Japanese Language mode and install in English. This works well for me, but I can only install and not upgrade. If I attempt to upgrade from RH9 to FC1 or from FC1 to FC2, I get problems that usually results in my inability to key in any Japanese text. The solution is always to run a fresh install as it seems apparant that the install process doesn't know how to upgrade around these conditions. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install RH9 or FC1 2. Change default language to Japanese 3. Attempt to upgrade while using English as the language during install 4. Profit!!! Actual results: No option, during upgrade to select or change supported languages during upgrade installation. Expected results: Inoperable Japanese Text Input Additional info:
Upgrading doesn't add new packages, it just upgrades your existing packages. Eventually, you'll be able to add the packages like you want, but it won't be related to an upgrade at all.
