                    changed
           Product: Fedora
           Version: 12
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: medium
          Priority: low

Description of problem:
I followed this test case:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Langpack_Yum_Application

I logged in with cs_CZ locale, installed eclipse. The eclipse-nls-cs was
correctly added to the install list. After that I logged out and logged in with
pl_PL locale. I don't seem to be able to have eclipse-nls-pl installed
automatically. I tried "yum update eclipse", "yum install eclipse", "yum
update" - still it doesn't offer me to install Polish langpack automatically.
But the test case says "Current locale package for the installed application
should be installed automatically."

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora 12
yum-presto-0.6.2-1.fc12.noarch
yum-utils-1.1.25-1.fc12.noarch
yum-metadata-parser-1.1.2-14.fc12.x86_64
yum-3.2.25-1.fc12.noarch
yum-langpacks-0.1.4-2.fc13.noarch

How reproducible:
always

The same problem for PackageKit integration, I don't know how to have pl
translation automatically installed. I tried installing other packages, I tried
to display the list of available updates - no eclipse-nls-pl there.

yum-langpacks only kicks in when there is a package update available I think.

I think this is basically a limitation of yum.
At least the plugin currently will only see
langpacks for a new language when there is
base package update.  But if you have a example
or counterexample for a different plugin say
I can try to look more into how this might be
done.  I think there might also be a lot of
yum overhead if we have to check for langpacks
for any installed package in every yum transaction.
So may be the current way is a reasonable
compromise if not perfect.

I understand. So what's the proposed solution - you close this bug as WONTFIX
and I'll update the test case instructions and put a note there about this use
case (saying it's not supported)?

Yes, thank you - sounds good to me.

If later we find a better way to handle this
case perhaps we can reopen and revisit.
