Package: dictionaries-common Version: 1.12.11 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
On Debian Squeeze, I would run ispell-change-dictionary in emacs to toggle between my default dictionary (american) and german-new8. Despite installing many dictionary packages, I couldn't get 'german-new8' back in the menu on Wheezy. What is present, however, is german and german8. Unfortunately, when I select, say, german, I get '/usr/lib/aspell/german' can not be opened for reading. Looking on packages.debian.org: https://packages.debian.org/search?suite=wheezy&arch=any&mode=filename&searchon=contents&keywords=%2Fusr%2Flib%2Faspell%2Fgerman I get: Sorry, your search gave no results I eventually figured out that I should be using de-neu after looking at the 91 options available when using tab completion on ispell-change-dictionary. Given that I only have aspell-de and aspell-en: $ dpkg -l \*spell\* | grep '^ii' ii aspell 0.60.7~20110707-1 amd64 GNU Aspell spell-checker ii aspell-de 20120607-1 all German dictionary for aspell ii aspell-en 7.1-0-1 all English dictionary for GNU Aspell ii hunspell-en-us 20070829-6 all English_american dictionary for hunspell ii ispell 3.3.02-6 amd64 International Ispell (an interactive spelling corrector) ii libaspell15 0.60.7~20110707-1 amd64 GNU Aspell spell-checker runtime library ii libhunspell-1.3-0:amd64 1.3.2-4 amd64 spell checker and morphological analyzer (shared library) it seems to me that not only should dictionaries not included in Debian be pruned, but not-installed dictionaries should be pruned as well. The list of dictionaries appears to be generated by ispell-find-aspell-dictionaries (from ispell.el). This function merges entries from the output of 'aspell dicts' with ispell-dictionary-base-alist, which is a static list. Likely, the intersection should be taken instead of the union. However, my elisp-fu is not good enough to come up with a patch.
