Description of problem: when attempting to install thunderbird 45.1.1-1.mga6.noarch via MCC, a requires dependency is reported: thunderbird-ar-45.1.1-1.mga6.noarch. (choosing my preferred language interface first allows only the two required thunderbird packages to be installed.) When attempting the install from terminal, urpmi thunderbird, reports: In order to satisfy the 'thunderbird-l10n' dependency, one of the following packages is needed: (options 1-50 presented, what is your choice?) there is an inconsistancy between MCC and urpmi that should be aligned.

This isn't a thunderbird issue, but a drakrpm problem: you get the same for the localised sounds package when installing gcompris. The same problem exist for dnf, see bug 18315

getting better. (I selected:language:New Zealand English, Locale:New Zealand at installation) rpmdrake: choosing to install thunderbird only advises dependency "british english" urpmi: [root@localhost ~]# urpmi thunderbird In order to satisfy the 'thunderbird-l10n' dependency, one of the following packages is needed: 1- thunderbird-en_GB-45.2.0-1.mga6.noarch: British English interface for Thunderbird (to install) 2- thunderbird-en_US-45.2.0-1.mga6.noarch: English (United States) interface for Thunderbird (to install) What is your choice? (1-2)
but good enough

Reopening, this bug isn't about urpmi, it has never been a problem there. Besides, as just also shown in comment #3, rpmdrake still selects the alphabetically first ;-)

However, Ben, I should have asked you for the output of rpm -qa | grep locales | sort instead of just assuming that this time, you only have locales-en (and locales itself, of course) installed now. Here, I still get To satisfy dependencies, the following package(s) also need to be installed: - gcompris-boards-15.10-2.mga6.noarch - gcompris-sounds-ar-15.10-2.mga6.noarch 156MB of additional disk space will be used. So no choice, despite 10 different locales-*-2.22-5.mga6 being installed.
Summary: Let rpmdrake give a choice of localised packages if more than one locales-* are installed, instead of just picking the one for the alphabetically first locales-* => Let rpmdrake give a choice of localised packages if more than one locales-* are installed, instead of just picking the alphabetically first localised package

This can be resolved as we move from rpmdrake to dnfdragora[1] and implement the solution described in bug 19974. However, I don't think we can fix it in this manner for Mageia 6, though we definitely can for Mageia 7. [1]: https://github.com/anaselli/dnfdragora
