Package: aspell Version: 0.60.7~20110707-1.3 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
While fixing a problem about recoll not finding libaspell (Bug#772171), I found that aspell directory creation did not work on Jessie: Example run: vj64$ /usr/bin/aspell --lang=en --encoding=utf-8 create master /home/dockes/.recoll/aspdict.en.rws Error: The language "en" is not known. This is probably because: the file "/usr/share/aspell/en.dat" can not be opened for reading. Indeed /usr/share/aspell/en.dat does not exist, but /usr/lib/aspell/en.dat does. Specifying --data-dir does not work either: vj64$ /usr/bin/aspell --data-dir=/usr/lib/aspell --lang=en --encoding=utf-8 create master /home/dockes/.recoll/aspdict.en.rws Error: The file "/usr/lib/aspell/iso-8859-1.cset" can not be opened for reading. Indeed, iso-8859-1.cset is in /usr/share/aspell. It used to live in /usr/lib/aspell on Wheezy The same command works on Wheezy. Apparently 2 things have changed: the default data-dir is /usr/share/aspell, when it used to be /usr/lib/aspell, but not all of the data files moved from /usr/lib/aspell to /usr/share/aspell, so the configuration now appears inconsistent. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.0 APT prefers testing-updates APT policy: (500, 'testing-updates'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16-2-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages aspell depends on: ii dictionaries-common 1.23.17 ii libaspell15 0.60.7~20110707-1.3 ii libc6 2.19-13 ii libgcc1 1:4.9.1-19 ii libncursesw5 5.9+20140913-1 ii libstdc++6 4.9.1-19 ii libtinfo5 5.9+20140913-1 Versions of packages aspell recommends: ii aspell-en [aspell-dictionary] 7.1-0-1.1 Versions of packages aspell suggests: pn aspell-doc <none> pn spellutils <none> -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
