Package: postgresql-common Version: 136 Severity: normal Control: found -1 134wheezy1
It looks like pg_updatedicts adds new dictionaries to postgresql's dictionary cache, but it doesn't remove old dictionaries that have been purged. This seems like a mistake to me -- why should these dictionaries linger if the system administator has purged them? Below is an example transcript that i think shows the problem: 0 root@stylus:~# ls -la /var/cache/postgresql/dicts/it* ls: cannot access /var/cache/postgresql/dicts/it*: No such file or directory 2 root@stylus:~# apt-get install myspell-it Reading package lists...
