Can't install Chinese language: software database is broken

Featured Replies

Hi, I'm running Ambian 24.11.2 Noble Genome version on OrangePi 5 Plus in my nvme drive.

I want to change my system language to Chinese simplified.

However,  when I select 'Chinese simplified' in 'Settings -> System -> Region & Language -> Manage Installed Languages -> Install/Remove Languages' and click 'Apply'. It says: 'software database is broken. It is impossible to install or remove any software. Please use the software manager "Synaptic" or run "sudo apt-get install -f " in terminal to fix this issue at first.'

I did tried to run synaptic with sudo and clicked 'Fix Broken Packages' and 'Reload'. It says 0 is broken, 0 to install/upgrade and 0 to remove.

I also tried to run "sudo apt-get install -f ". It says:

-----------------
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
------------------

However, the problem persists.

Interestingly, I found that French language can be installed properly via the same method. But neither simplified or traditional Chinese can be installed.

I'm out of my wits. I would really appreciate any help to narrow the question!
