Package: dict-gcide
Version: 0.48.3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

When I run the following command, I get (in part) the following output:

$ dict -d gcide repeal
[...]
>From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48 [gcide]:

  Repeal \Re*peal"\ (r?-p?l"), v. t. [imp. & p. p. {Repealed}
     (-p?ld"); p. pr. & vb. n. {Repealing}.] [OF. repeler to call
     back, F. rappeler; pref. re- re- + OF. apeler, F. appeler, to
     call, L. appellare. See {Appeal}, and. cf. {Repel}.]
[...]

This points to a definition of "appeal", marked as being available for
lookup. However, when I attempt to look up "appeal", I get no results:

$ dict -d gcide appeal
No definitions found for "appeal"

Similarly, manually grepping through /usr/share/dictd/gcide.* does not
locate any definitions for "Appeal".

Reinstalling the package (via 'apt-get install --reinstall dict-gcide')
did not affect this behavior.

By contrast, looking up 'appeal' in either the www.dict.org Web-based
query interface for gcide or the gcide.gnu.org Web-based query interface
finds three separate definition sections:
http://www.dict.org/bin/Dict?Form=Dict2&Database=gcide&Query=Appeal
http://gcide.gnu.org.ua/?q=appeal&define=Define&strategy=.

I would expect that looking up "appeal" using the dict command-line
interface would provide the same results as doing so via the various
online interfaces.
