Gnome Terminal can't remove some Language items

Asked by MadhuSoodanan

Ubuntu 12.04
I gave the following command

sudo fuser -vvv /var/lib/dpkg/lock
sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/lock
sudo cp -arf /var/lib/dpkg /var/lib/dpkg.backup
sudo cp /var/lib/dpkg/status-old /var/lib/dpkg/status
sudo cp /var/lib/dpkg/available-old /var/lib/dpkg/available
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/dpkg/updates/*
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists
sudo rm /var/cache/apt/*.bin
sudo mkdir /var/lib/apt/lists
sudo mkdir /var/lib/apt/lists/partial
LANG=C;sudo apt-get clean -o APT::Cache-Limit=25165824
LANG=C;sudo apt-get autoclean -o APT::Cache-Limit=25165824
LANG=C;sudo apt-get --purge autoremove -o APT::Cache-Limit=25165824
LANG=C;sudo apt-get update -o APT::Cache-Limit=25165824
sudo dpkg --clear-avail
sudo dpkg --configure -a
LANG=C;sudo apt-get -f install -o APT::Cache-Limit=25165824
LANG=C;sudo apt-get --fix-missing install -o APT::Cache-Limit=25165824
LANG=C;sudo apt-get update -o APT::Cache-Limit=25165824 && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
----------------------------------------------------------------------
But Terminal can't remove the packages I got. The final result I got 4 or 5 times is :
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  firefox-locale-de* firefox-locale-zh-hans* kde-l10n-de* kde-l10n-engb*

Can you close the other question as a duplicate, or close this as a duplicate of 202428.

Try:

sudo apt-get --purge remove language-pack-de-base*

Does that remove ok?

In my first attempt I got (Last few lines of the command)
---------------------------
Setting up empathy-dbg (3.4.2.1-0ubuntu1) ...
Processing triggers for libc-bin ...
ldconfig deferred processing now taking place
--------------------------
Since from the second attempt I got:

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  language-pack-zh-hans language-pack-kde-en language-pack-kde-zh-hans
  language-pack-kde-en-base kde-l10n-engb kde-l10n-zhcn firefox-locale-de
  language-pack-zh-hans-base firefox-locale-zh-hans
  language-pack-kde-zh-hans-base
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

So I think this problem is solved.

 > Does that remove ok?

Do I need to try the last command given in #202428 ?
