Okay! Thanks for the info. I don't like how I've worked around it, but then, I
don't want to add dictd as a Pre-Depends either.

I've pushed the fix to the version control. But this is the only fix so far.
This upload was done after 5 years. And I intend to replace this package with
the newer formal one from dico sources, but it'll all depend on my free
time/commitment to these software. And dico too is having some issues that I'm
trying to work with upstream.


So, to summarize, let's hold this bug for a month or two.
If I get dico done by then, then we'll just drop this package altogether.
OTOH, if that doesn't happen in time, I'll do an upload for this one.


Please feel free to mark it RC eventually, if it isn't done by then
