Not quite that simple, because you can't just install a simple additional package to get the stuff. The point is that the files are part of a package that's already been installed, but the package was installed without those files using the magic RPM call (% _install_langs). I don't think either RPM or PackageKit currently expose a very simple way to add those files. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
