Hi, David, I stand corrected, aspell-en must be declared "Multi-Arch: foreign" for jessie, and it is better that other aspell-xx packages also are, but not so important Noticed that I wrongly tested with # apt-get install aspell:i386 libaspell15 --install-recommends instead of with # apt-get install aspell:i386 --install-recommends as I should have done. So, aspell-en is pulled in the first case, but not in the second. That means that aspell-en should really be "multiarch: foreign." For other dicts is better if they are also set foreign, for instance, if I run, with a "multiarch: foreign" aspell-en available (built one for the test), # apt-get install aspell:i386 aspell-es --install-recommends aspell-en will also be pullled together with aspell-es, althouth aspell-es alone should have matched the depends. A bit weird, but not that grave for jessie release. Anyway, better if addressed too. Brian, if you do not object I plan to upload next Monday an aspell-en NMU to DELAYED/2 with attached patch. I am aware that this is a very short time frame, but I think we should deal with this ASAP. > You have identified an additional problem that I did not see.

I will also file a bug against aspell-da about this. I was pretty sure that Brian stated as policy that all aspell dicts must use aspell-autobuildhash, but searching now I can only find that aspell-autobuildhash was tagged as the preferred form for aspell dicts. Brian, we recently made some changes to dictionaries-common-dev (see http://bugs.debian.org/737515) regarding a very simple debhelper structure to handle aspell dictionaries directly based on upstream files. I used aspell-en as one of the test boxes, so I will provide you with a diff and a wishlist bug for your consideration. Thanks a lot for your feedback, David, Regards, -- Agustin
