No, it did not.

 I'd suggest you: sudo dpkg --configure -a

This did not do anything either.
I tried manually installing the Japanese language pack with Synaptic. 
Does not work and I get the error:
"Could not mark all packages for installation or upgrade.
The following packages have unresolvable dependencies:
language-pack-ja-base
Make sure that all required repositories are added and enabled in the 
preferences.

Someone on the Japanese Ubuntu list just happened to mention something 
similar and I tried the command given there:

sudo apt-get install language-pack-gnome-ja language-pack-ja

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 language-pack-gnome-ja : Depends: language-pack-gnome-ja-base (>= 
1:14.04+20150804) but it is not going to be installed
 language-pack-ja : Depends: language-pack-ja-base (>= 
1:14.04+20150804) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.


Does this mean something to somebody?

Remove language? I clicked on "Remove" at the bottom of the screen. No 
commands used.
